Memorial Day Weekend 2008

I have been meaning to post pictures since Memorial Day weekend...but somehow other things have come up...so I'll include those updates next.

MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND 2008
Beach Adventure with Uncle Kraig & Family

The crew, from left to right: Andrew holding Elliot, Aunt Tami, Samantha, Uncle Kraig, Tami's Mom (ahead in pink), Boston (yes, named after the Red Sox - my only consolation that Andrew is not THE biggest Red Sox fan that ever lived), Reggie, and perhaps obviously, Søren in the rear. We were missing Kraig's eldest daughter, who was otherwise busy getting herself engaged!

Slow and steady Søren and I appreciated all the sand.

In all it's various degrees of wetness.

We finally caught up to these two beloved guys.

A little sand exploration...

While the Hoff's get a family portrait taken.

Then Boston shows Søren how it's really done.

Waiting outside our lunch cafe with Elliot and his treasures (the guys were hitting the aforementioned found golf balls into the ocean - which turned out to be great for practice because the waves return all the balls!)

Finding a nicer waiting area,

Where the guys could act manly and talk about fishing.

Back to the beach after lunch!

Elliot preferred to be atop the sand.

Right about now I started thinking about all the earthquakes Oregon had been having and about Tsunami's, and how quickly I could dig Søren out, chase Elliot, and run like the wind.

Elliot anticipating when this cap will be his (have I mentioned how much I love this kid lately?!)
