Jamin, Nolan, Zander, and Arielle play Marco Polo
Mini-me was very sad this a.m. to leave the Hampton. I think she camps like I do. ::snort:: Believe it or not, the hotel employees seemed sad to say goodbye to us too. They enjoyed watching our family grow day by day. I checked in the first night alone, then added the girls, then Mike and the younger ones, then finally Josiah and Jamin.....
Jared and Josiah decide to catch up and watch the others
The estimate for the trailer repairs was done this morning instead of at 4:00 p.m. YES. Dad and Michael went over there and then to Les Schawb. If we can find the tire receipt they will pay the $2,000.00 damage caused by the tire blowing out. Here the men repack the van.
Krista, Arielle and I drove up in Krista's car. We did some PWOC shopping and some GROCERY shopping. The others headed for Depoe Bay .
A think of beauty - PINK LADY apples - and .88 a LB and not $1.09 EACH.
Last time I bought bananas in the commissary they were $1.19 a lb
We spent the evening settling in to the home we will stay in until we leave for Seattle to catch a flight home to Japan.
8 Bedrooms....means that Nolan can have his own room... Zander agreed to sleep on a couch...though now he tells me he didn't know it would be so dark and lonely alone. This may not work well.
I love the dining room - reminds me of our dining room in AK when we had all the kids at home. LOL
Bedrooms to the left, alcove at the end, game room on the right. If you lean out over the railing and stand on one foot you can see our ocean view. ::snort:: We've discovered that "beach front" in Depoe Bay anywhere is going to be up a cliff and not on a sandy beach.....and our home was a "view" and not a "front" anyway....but it's big, has lots of things we can do if it rains, has laundry and 7 bathrooms and we can all be together. It will work.
Mom and Dad will join us on Wednesday. We've got your suite waiting for you!
Choosing Joy!

Wow! What a house! Gotta love the Hampton, as well, though. It's definitely my hotel of choice (especially when Greg is with us and we can get an employee discount! :)
Oh that is AWESOME that you can all be together for a few days!
Enjoy the beach :D
Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy! It is so wonderful that all of you are together. There's been a lot of water under the bridge since that happened last.
Your pictures remind me of the places we rented in the Great Smoky Mountains several times. The last one we rented was called a lodge. We don't have nine children, but our four have been "fruitful" so we have 14 grandchildren and now 3 great grandchildren. Chances of all of us being together are slim, but we're hoping for most of them here for our 50th wedding anniversary this summer.
You all have a blessed visit together.
