Beverly Beach

The cool thing about not working bankers hours is having a non-traditional weekend. On a whim we drove to the coast and without reservations were able to stay at Beverly Beach. For those of you familiar with the Oregon Coast during the summer you know what a feat that is. Here are some photos from our adventure:

Self-photo on the drive.

This last weekend we had the opportunity to hang out with Scotty's extended family.

Ultimate Season is Upon Us

We played our first ultimate frisbee game of the season. We are playing on a city league team and we aren't very good but we make up for it with enthusiasm.

Scotty focusing and working hard at guarding.

Scotty's Birthday

Scotty's birthday celebration actually lasted several days this year including all things manly.

His actually birthday (6/10) was spent climbing.

Then we had family time with a BBQ.

rafting in october

Before the rain started we took one last rafting trip...in October, these are the brave souls that braved the icy waters...okay it wasn't that cold.

I have no idea what Scotty's boat is doing.

We have been blessed with a wonderful family that actually likes hanging out together. We spend the last weekend of August all together at the Oregon coast.
