Weekend on the Coast

We closed out the summer with a couple of days in Newport.  It was a beautiful weekend to be on the Oregon Coast!  

We saw lots of sea life, including some whales swimming just off Yaquina Head Lighthouse, and the weather was great for flying kites.  Click here for photos. (The kids also posted some great photos on Instagram.)  The album includes a rally we participated in earlier in the week to support the abolition of the death-penalty in Oregon.  

In addition to helping out at the rally, the twins spent their final full week of summer vacation helping their current block teacher and former 4th grade teacher set up their classrooms.  They also checked a few more items off their summer bucket list (eg. a trip to Oaks Park Amusement Park), while Drew was teaching a River Adventure sailing camp. 


Say it isn't so.... how could summer vacation come to an end so quickly?  We've been having such fun!  School starts on Wednesday.
