Final days at the beach...........
A few shots from the tour of the Tillammmmoooook sheesh factory.
Everyone gamely tries to get interested.
The girls even pose as cow and farmer. It's almost like Disneyland here.
The litttle girls eating ice cream......that's the real attraction.
Bea pretty much sums up everybody's reaction to the tour.
Maybe it's just too much of a good thing.

Now...........this is more like it...flying kites on the beach!!!
Chris and Kami ward off the chill on the deck. Very nice and cozy.
Later Jon discovers that the master link is about to fall out of his chain. Luckily, disaster averted.
This is actually clouds flowing over the hillside. Cool though.
Kites are one of the major pastimes, along with walks on the beach, naps on the porch, and just staring at the waves.........waves.....waves.
Bea and Emma open a "Sand Stor" . After a while, with few takers, they switch to selling Dandelions. Not much better.
Jonathan had decided that it is all a waste of time and has settled in to a routine of grading papers and writing his thesis. "All work and no play" Whatever works!
More of our neighbors. For the last eleven years they have come to this same place and built one of these sand monsters. Every year the monster is eaten by the sea. They apparently will never learn.
We have packed all that we can for our getaway tomorrow morning. Not sure if I am ready to leave but I suppose it is just the drive that I am dreading. Lots of hard candy, really bad coffee, and weird mexican radio stations.
See you soon.

Still.............at the beach!
This fellow guards our trail down to the beach. Keeps the riff-raff out. But what is he?
Scares everybody to death.
Kami and Chris in the car for the trip to the aquarium down in Newport. Big excitement.

Some strange sights.
Of course, we had a chance to do a little diving ourselves.
A wonderful meal and fabulous beer at Rogue's Brewery.
I had the Smoked! Jonathan's fish and chips took my prize as the best yet in the States.

Christine's 40th Class Reunion
A few shots from our reunion weekend in Sandpoint.
We got a tour of the old Junior High building. This is what used to be the gym being set up for a wedding reception. This same building was the Sandpoint High School building for my parents!

Here is the 3rd floor auditorium with some of the reunionites on stage. The same stage where I performed so many times as a kid. Amazing. Last time I was here, I was helping to move a 9 foot grand piano up the stairs!
