I Forgot to Post our Bandon Trip

We got home from Bandon and went right into 

Ellie's 5th Birthday so I totally forgot

to post pictures of our trip.
June 23 to July 1

We got there the day before Brooke and Chris

 This was the first thing down the chute

 After all our stuff was unloaded
Walt's relaxation

My relaxation

The sun set

and the kiddos arrived in the middle of the night
Then we unloaded them in the morning

 and off to the beach

 Pete is wearing Gram's slippers

 The neighbors brought over oysters on the half shell
Yummmmm!!

More beach

 One morning the whole group was on the beach, sisters,
cousins, second cousins

Sisters

 The way back wasn't as crowded

 I showed Ellie how to look for agates
She looks at a few sugar agates and I show her
how to look for clearer ones and she says,
"Sort of like this Gram"

 Exactly like that Ellie
It's a beauty

We had a great time.  Got out to camp after the sprinkles

and back from camping before the rain.  That's a good 

campout. 

We even got to see the eclipse

This is what we saw over the hour or so span

The shadows in the trees were pretty cool too
