Cannon Beach Getaway

Last week we were guests of Jerry and Dottie Koster in Cannon Beach. The Koster's have been vacationing with these other two families for some 15-20 years and we were privileged to be invited for the second time. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with the group. They are certainly a beautiful picture of community.

The Vander Bond Family

In honor of a 30th Birthday Girl we each created sand sculptures in an appropriate theme. She grew up in the south, vacationed in the south, and now lives in the south. The senior citizen of our group was delighted to see how seriously we all took this challenge. She didn't realize how competive we all are.
