Spring Break

 I had a week or so between semesters, so we headed west. We had excellent visits with the Ems, Brice and Andy, the Saras, and the Petes.

The O'Connor girls played cross-country croquet. Madelyn.

June.

Lily.

Eleanor.

June and Lily had some of their art displayed in town.

Pointing hers out.

June, trying to fly.

Andy looked and sounded happy.

Brice took us for rides in his homebuilt Juliette.

Mt. Rainier, over the clouds.

We went to Astoria with Sara.

Views over the town, ant to the river.

Pete and I got in a round of disc golf in his gorgeous Pier Park.

Pete at work. Looking for another job.

We saw Hazel's nice play, about baseball.

Then we went to see the tulips.

They had tons of very cool kites.

Mt. Hood in the background.

Annie trusting her dad.

Ezzy.

Hazel in the driver's seat.

And in the jumpin seat.

Hazel and Theo in shoes that are monstrously too big.

Hike at Ecola State Park.

The lighthouse.

Ezzy, taking it in.

And we finished up at the beach.

Candace was unfortunately sick for much of our visit.

Freezing their feet off.

Totally worth all the driving.
