Happy Birthday Dad

Abe: For his 44th birthday we gave Dad a rugby shirt and a 3-day weekend vacation on the Oregon coast. Even better was he got to take me and Koh ...and off we drove to historic Fort Stevens. Boy what a fun time that was with a lot of firsts for us and maybe Mom + Dad, too.

Do you know WE LEARNED TO DRIVE THE CAR ?!(WOW), plus we ran into the ocean and lake water lots of times, played on this really big beach with a rusty shipwreck, climbed up and jumped down the REALLY BIG SAND DUNES, saw racoons and bugs real close, fixed some fires and played with the water spigot, rode + slept in the bike trailer, fired a real cannon (ok, not really), even kept Mom and Dad up almost all night while we got them to sleep with us on a real bed in the yurt. Click here for the 8-min feature film of our weekend.

We ate stuff like never before since it was camping ...like chocolate milk, and these marshmellow drippy things they named after our friends that moved away (SAMORES), and mac+cheese and wild huckleberries and other stuff we found on the ground when they weren't looking. 13 more photos here.

This was so fun we didn't want to sleep, so we didn't. I mean we can sleep at home, right?

Aunt Susan says: Great job boys (and Mommy) for Dad's birthday! It looks like it was fantastic!! Don't tell Daddy I've whispered this to you, but he might ought to check that "44th birthday" math he's got going in that post :o)
