Emily Christine

As we were driving down by the jetty we found a boat with Emily's name on it and had to take a picture. How often does one find their first and middle name on a boat?

Kayaking in the Chetco

My parents took us up the Chetco to kayak in the river. It was warm, in the 80's compared to the cool coastal temperature of the high 60's and low 70's. As desert rats, we enjoyed the cool breeze and the cold water. I even managed to get a little work out, kayaking up the river a bit and back down. The girls enjoyed going down a mini-rapid, can be seen by the photo's. Next year we will plan a 1/2 day trip down the Chetco River where we will encounter a couple of bigger rapids. It should be fun.

Feeding the Seagulls

One of the favorite activities I enjoy doing while I am in Oregon is to feed the Seagulls! :) I don't know why, but it makes me laugh so much. The day these pictures were taken, the wind was blowing pretty hard, so the seagulls managed to stay in the air for a long time waiting for their morsel of cheap white bread. When it is not so windy, they can't hover like they do here.
