March, 2005


Dylan's family (Mom Michell, Dad Rick, Brother Tanner and his cute wife Carrie) recently came to visit us in Oregon. We spent 4 days at a beach house in Arch Cape. It was AWESOME! We saw starfish, elk, crabs, whales, snakes, rabbits, and a bazillion other things. We hiked and flew kites. Leah planned delicious and healthy meals, which were sabatoged by the boy's raid of the supermarket, resulting in $45 worth of candy and the like. It was the best trip ever.

We saw real live whales spouting and swimming at this overlook in Ecola State Park.

Obviously loud.

Obviously cute.

Which is crabbier?

This decapitated baby whale washed up right in front of the beach house. It provided excellent dinner conversation. Many bets circulated for days afterward: "I'll give you fifty bucks to go lick that whale....I'll give you a hundred bucks to go sit on that whale...I'll give you ten thousand dollars to eat your dinner sitting atop that whale, etc."

Here is what you have been waiting for. The chunk factor broken down.
