Peggy and her boys stopped at Camp 18 yesterday for a romp and took lots of pictures. Enjoy!

The whole family was here last weekend. Four kids under the age of five, three twenty-somethings, and two fifty-somethings.
We were able to get a great picture of the kidlings on the teeter totter. I also posted a picture of the sweaters Peggy has made for us recently. Mine is knit with wool/silk yarn. Very cozy.
Oh, and NoodleKnit on the top bar is Peggy’s blog.
Peggy had a little picture sharing session with the family the other day. She had taken pics while we were at Ecola Park and of the Hobbitses playing golf. I plugged her camera card into my palantÃr today with the hope of copying the pics and posting them here. They’re gone! She copied them to her palantÃr then deleted them from the card.
This post is a nudge for her to post them on her blog. Though she did say she was having troubles with the blog the other night. Charter was having issues earlier in the week but they seem to be up and running again…
We had a lovely day yesterday. We drove down to Ecola Park for the day. It rained a bit on the way but we were on a mission! We had to get rocks for the fire pit being constructed in the back yard. I digress.
We traversed the trails on the bluffs above the beach and saw the Tillamook Lighthouse gleaming in the sun. Maybe saw some whales spouting off in the distance. We did find a picnic table sheltered from the breeze and enjoyed yummy sandwiches. How can an ordinary sandwich taste so much better when eaten outdoors?!?
Anyway. It was decided that Jerry, Peggy, and Hobbitses would make the hike to Indian Beach (1.5 miles) and I would drive Felaróf. After I restrained our steed in the parking lot, I started up the trail to meet the family. It was quite slippery and muddy but it had to be traversed! The Hobbitses walked the whole way and it was a hike for them. Alas, no pictures.
We had a little snack then headed to the beach. There were streams to be forded, sand to be dug, rocks to be thrown, fun to be had. We then each chose a fire pit rock and went back to Felaróf to make the trip home. Of course, we needed another snack! As we went down the road, little Gabriel fell asleep almost immediately, no surprise there. He slept all the way home, and continued sleeping for another two hours in his bed. Nikolai did not sleep though he did have some quiet time.
Apple pancakes for dinner, nice and simple. Except for the carsickiness of Peggy, a good day was had by all.
