Ann made her own memorable pictures after I snapped this pic of her.

Labor Day Weekend Part 2

This was our second year at the Civil War re-enactment at Fort Stevens near Astoria, OR. We were there from opening 'till closing taking it all in.

We met this family at our campground. Here they are with their granddaughter. Their grown children were raised "in the Civil War" and have their own camps right beside them.

He taught us a lot. Here are his homemade clothes hangers.

It was real special that he went in his tent and got out his rifles (I wish I could explain them better but I don't know much about guns). They were very heavy. He let the boys handle them and everything.

The battle. We went to 2 battles, this was the first one.

Would you believe Mary slept through most of this!

Some of the camps.

Part of the fashion show.

Labor Day Weekend Trip

Here we are scavenging along the beach. We went to the beach 3 times, but I only got the camera out for this. Plus I thought it'd be better to post with our clothes on ;) (instead of swimsuits...)

Bumper cars in Seaside. We had such a blast together. After this I, Paul agreed to go on the Tilt a Whirl with me, since noone else would. We all learned, in just those few moments, that Paul and I can be 2 very different people...

Back at camp, kickin' it 'round the campfire.

I'm thanking the good Lord for family and good times.
