Kalaloch part 4

If theres sand, my kids will be making sand castles.
If theres something little (like rocks or shells, just like her mom, she likes little things) Kimber will be picking them up.

We had lots of beach campfires

Beautiful scenery

we have a big head joke in our family. Check out my big ol' head compared to Candy's. DANG. No wonder Kimber's head is so darn big.

They had to get in some more wave chasing.

And the sun set on our last night

Our last beach campfire for Kalaloch 2009

Alot of the "H" family doesn't like to go to Kalaloch because of poor cell phone reception or no wireless laptops but for me, esp this year, with all the hospitals and doctor visits, it was a much needed week away from it all and I so enjoyed every minute of it. We cant wait for next year

Kalaloch part 3, Dam and Tree

One of Craig and Candy's family traditions is building "the Dam" so this is our 2nd year at it. Theres this little stream that runs into the ocean and they dam it off and then break the dam. Alot of fun and very educational. Here's Bridger and Tyler
Bridger and Kimber getting into it.

Kyler was crawling around on the rocks above the stream trying to dam it off further above them all. He was sure he saw a snake down in those rocks (he was also sure he saw a bear a few days later)

Its getting pretty full.

Tyler breaking the wall....

See Tyler run. Run Tyler Run.

Craig "tried" to get Bridger and Kimber to get down in the hole but they wanted nothing to do with it.

We made a stop along side the highway at a scenic spot where there were some"BIG"Cedar trees.

Boy were they big

Kalaloch part 1

We arrived at Kalaloch on a Monday and left on a Friday and I took over 500 pictures on T, W and Th. Here is our camp area. The weather was pretty nice, it didn't rain on us until the last morning when we were packing up.
The other direction of our campsite

Craig, Candy and Tylers campsite

Craig and Tyler smelt fishing

Kevin caught one with his bare hands

They were just catch and releasing them except for about 6 which they.............

Poked a stick in and roasted over the fire.

Bridger loved eating the fish right on the beach.

Another thing we all love to do is let the waves chase us.

if you click on the picture you can see B&K's faces close up. They are having so much fun it was pure joy on their faces.

lots more to follow.........

Good Bye to Craig, Candy and Tyler

Craig (Kevins brother) his wife Candy and their youngest son Tyler all fly home to Texas tomorrow morning. We headed over to Baba's after dinner to say good bye to them.
We couldn't say good bye without cupcakes.
German Chocolate cupcakes with pale pink butter cream frosting. Some had silver sprinkles and some had white. (oh and Dora cupcake papers, hehe)
We always have a very nice time when they are here........camping and visiting. Its so nice of them to spend a few weeks of their vacation time every year up here with all of us. I hope/wish some day we can make it down to Texas.

Dinner with Craig, Candy and Tyler (and Baba)

Kevins brother, Craig, his wife Candy and their youngest son Tyler are visiting from Texas. They all along with Baba, Ryan, Amber and Kenna came for dinner tonight. Heres Kevin and Craig. Kevin is the youngest of 4 boys and Craig is the third son.
Here we all are (except for Kevin the picture taker)
Kevin BBQ some steaks, I made the top ramen/cabbage salad and a lime drink. Candy made a fruit salad. Oh and I also made an ice cream dish (sorry no pics) but I am making it again tomorrow to take to friends for dinner so I will take a pic then (I hope) We had a very nice time with them and watched the video Church Ball after dinner.
