We were able to get away for President’s Weekend. It is our tradition to go to Lincoln City, Oregon for the annual firemen’s ham dinner fundraiser. My father-in-law has been a volunteer fireman forever.

This is the second year we rented a house. This one was so beautiful, very relaxing. We had a bit of an ocean view. Of course, I neglected to get a picture of the outside. Here’s the living room the first night we got there and the in-laws came to visit us. Notice the tv … we had planned to watch the Olympics with the family, we got there in time to watch opening ceremonies. Unfortunately, the owner had disconnected the cable and did not notify the rental agency. We strongly requested a price adjustment. We’ll see what they do for us.

This ottoman that missy is sitting on we discovered later was missing a leg. I sat on it to take a picture of Rebecca and did a slow motion topple to the floor. The look on Rebecca’s face was priceless as I fell towards her. I’m sure mine was the same. No injuries.

Mayah is learning stairs and doing pretty well. They just moved to a house with stairs so she’s getting lots of practice. The house was 3 levels. This was looking up and down.

This is one end of the master bedroom….this room had an ocean view.

Tired and ready for bed!

This is the landing on the way upstairs….Mayah had a lot of fun running around here.

Bored with it all….

(no tv, no internet, what’s a boy to do?)

Rebecca made her own birthday cake, with Chase helping. Ben and Brittany bought ukeleles at the outlet stores…here he is having fun with the first one before he went and bought one for himself.

Valentine’s day breakfast.

Chase actually did the bacon and wasn’t standing around much at all.

Dutch babies!!!

We toasted.

Yum!

Early afternoon we headed to the ham dinner and met up with Aunt Wendy, Uncle Todd and Zoe. Sparky wanted his picture taken with the kids.

He wouldn’t leave until he had a picture taken with Grandma and Grandpa too.

These firemen are so efficient.

We posed for a family picture.

Later we had to eat cake…
