Oregon Coast trip

One last summer fling on the Oregon Coast with the YaYa's, aka, the Champion, Yamamoto and Pietsch families. Here the girls build a dam along a small stream flowing into the Pacific Ocean at a beach near Pacific City. Click on the picture or here to see the full interactive panorama.

Coast Fork Cowboy Festival 2009

We had a blast this last weekend. Creswell put on the 5th Annual Coast Fork Cowboy Festival July 31st thru Aug. 2nd. In addition to taking in the entertainment, we hosted one of the bands, the Reddington family from Cove, Oregon who go by the stage name, The High Strung Band. They stayed with us for three days and we hit it right off.

They are, from left, father Shawn, mom Jennifer, Hunter, 14, Morgan, 12, and Landen, 15. They play a fun mix of folk music featuring the kids on fiddle, mandolin, and guitar.

We had such a good time we've already committed to hosting next year, although we told the Reddington's if they can find a host with more than one shower, we would understand. ;-)
