VACATION ON THE WILD(LIFE) SIDE!

Okay, okay...I'm posting, already! Here are some pictures from our recent vacation to Klamath Falls in southern Oregon...and some of the activities we enjoyed while there! Golf, swimming, hot-tubbing, playing games, making brownies & Jello (thanks for your help, Gavin & Trevor), resting, playing with baby and communing with God and His fabulous creatures in Creation! I wasn't quick enough with the camera, however, to catch the raccoon that was begging at our screen door on the deck one evening!! We had an awesome time!! We are SO blessed to have such a fine, fun family to spend quality time with...we look forward to when the others will be able to take part in family vacations with us in the near future...hint hint!!!







And my own little squirrely chipmunks :-)






Following our 10 days at Running Y Resort, we headed to Eugene to attend the wedding of the son of some very dear friends of ours! It was such fun to surprise (SHOCK! is more like it) our friends as we walked into the church foyer...I will never forget the look on their faces as it registered who we were! And the flowers...absolutely stunning (in spite of the calla lilies!) Of course, it helps that the mother-of-the-groom (my friend in the picture) is an award-winning florist and has owned her own shop for several years!) Funny thing I noticed...these colors look vaguely familiar...like a wedding I attended (in a hand-stitched white dress) in the early 1970's...I think we've come full circle!
After the wedding and reception, we drove a short distance to the Oregon Coast and enjoyed a couple of days just watching the seagulls, waves & breathtaking sunsets!! God is good...ALL the time!

Great pics! And your narrative summed it up beautifully! I chuckled at the sleeping pics! Ha! That's what driving all night and playing golf and running after grandkids will do to ya!

Nice post! "Oh my glory" is right Evey! I love the pics of Bry & dad sleeping - that is totally how it is on vaca isn't it!? "hint, hint"? What is that supposed to mean?

The wedding flowers were beautiful. Now I remember glancing at the pics while I was home.

I love how you copyright all your photos! Tee hee! :)

'Hint, hint' means just that...we welcome each of you to join us whenever you can get away! Thanx for noticing the watermark in the corner...just don't want odd folks on the internet to 'borrow' any of my pictures! That's just not right ;-)

I did not notice your little copyright thing. That is a BRILLIANT IDEA. How did you do that?
