Ron's Perfect Steak Barbecue

On their last day in OR Doug, Tracy and family went to Silver Falls State Park for a hike. Ron prepared a great dinner and the steaks were plenty big. 

Portland Timbers Game

Doug, Reeve, and I attended a MLS Portland Timber's game against the Colorado Rapids. The Timbers won 2-1. All the goals were scored on our end of the field.

Last Stop - Mo's at Cannon Beach

We timed our exit from Manzanita for a stop at Mo's for lunch. We has stopped there on our way to the cabin and the kids liked it so much we stopped on our way home.

45th Wedding Anniversary

Doug and Tracy took us out to a very nice restaurant in Manzanita for our 45th wedding anniversary.

Campfire and Smores

The campfire provided a great opportunity for smores and a game of charades.

Views from Highway 101

 The viewpoint that looks down to Manzanita beach is spectacular when the weather is good.

Sandcastle Time

Building the sandcastle was a group effort. Rania supplied water so we had nice wet sand for building.

Hiking Neahkahnie Mountain

Our afternoon hike to the top of Neahkahnie Mountain provided spectacular views.

Hug Point

Hug Point at low tide is my favorite place on the OR coast. We enjoyed seeing the sea life.

 Tasha and Rendall and Tracy and Doug took turns in the family competition for the perfect picture of a couple. We are waiting for Mark and Marta's entry.

Manzanita Cabin

 We had 4 wonderful nights in Manzanita. We had great weather for the entire time at the coast.

 

A Monopoly game was good fun. 

There was lots of time for frisbee on the beach. -Nancy

Even squeezed in time for a game of golf

After returning from the backpack trip Ron, Doug, and Reeve took time to play 9 holes of golf. Reeve got his first par on the 4th hole.

Time with Gabi

While the family was off backpacking Gabi stayed in Keizer with Grandpa and Grandma because hiking with a large cast was a problem.

The first day we went to the Marion County Fair. Watching the horse jumping competiton and visiting the horse barn was the most important use of our time.  There were free pictures taken by an area photo club.

 We spent most of another day at a shop where you could select and glaze your own pottery.
We also saw two movies and enjoyed time to read. - Nancy

Most of the family goes backpacking -

Doug, Tracy, Reeve, Rania, Tasha and Rendall headed out on a 3 night backpack trip to the Park Meadow area by Broken Top.
