Memorial Day Weekend

Okay, so that was a while ago....but I'm trying to get caught up on posting, and I don't like to skip things we've done. Don't you like staying in the loop? So to catch you up, here's what we did the Saturday before Memorial Day. We heard through the grapevine about the 28 miles of garage sales going on out at the Long Beach Peninsula. They weren't near as good as we were hoping. Oh well, you win some and you lose some. Our consolation was getting to go to the beach and play the rest of the day! It was chilly out there as it usually is on our beaches here in the Northwest, but nothing a sweatshirt couldn't handle!
It was windy, but not quite enough to get the kites up for long.
Keith & BrooklynOkay, who's the wise guy?
I have so many more pictures of Brooklyn because she's so much easier to get to cooperate - in case you're wondering why.

It sure is fun to run your toes through the sand!
But not so fun to remove it before getting into the car. We were taught the trick of sprinkling baby powder on and the sand rubs right off. Still, how do we end up with a beach full of sand in the car when we get home? Crazy how that is. . . .
We went to a BBQ on Memorial Day itself. The first of the season! We love a good BBQ. How about you?

we do too! and we have these wonderful deal-a-ma-jigs that are cages for shishkabobs! We had the first BBQ with them middle of May...mushrooms, corn on the cob, red, yellow, orange bell peppers, zuccini, yellow squash, chicken, steak...ahhhh, they were terrific! We should do that if (cross that out)--WHEN you come down! :) :) :)

nice pictures, I want to go there someday. I didn't realize I was that close to you while in Portland!

as for the bbq - I'm not a fan. seems like the meat is always raw in the middle or tastes like lighter fluid. I prefer over the stove.
