On September 27th, Sherri and I took the girls to a tour of some alpaca ranches around Auburn and Loomis.

The Twins with Grandpa Bud
Last month (I know, I should have posted this sooner), I went down to my dad's house to visit while his half-sister Sharon and friend Christina were in town. It was great to see everyone, but it was especially wonderful to see Dad interact with his granddaughters.

Bandon Trip, Day 8
Today we went to Shore Acres (http://www.shoreacres.net/), which is a state park near Coos Bay, OR. It's a beautifully landscaped garden, small enough to walk through in a couple hours. The only thing you have to pay for is parking for the day - the garden is donation only. There's a large open field and a nice observation area outside the gardens with picnic benches. We had lunch there overlooking the ocean. It's really a beautiful spot.
A little farther up the road is Simpson Reef and Shell Island. There's an overlook where you can see about four kinds of seals and sea lions, as well as many birds and (according to the information display) migrating whales. We saw the former two, but no whales.

Bandon Trip, Day 7
The internet has been sketchy, so I apologize for the skipped posts.
This morning we had Nicole's Famous Potatoes in the form of delicious breakfast burritos. I gotta say, I love Nicole's breakfast cooking. Good stuff! That set us off right for a morning at the beach where we spent a few hours flying kites, exploring some caves, and building lots of sand castles.
That evening we spent crabbing well past sunset. In fact, Sarah, the girls, and I all came home around 8:30 to put the girls to bed. Nicole, Ty, and the Mitani Brothers all stayed out till a little after midnight. In all, including what Sarah and I brought home with the girls, we caught 36 or 37 crabs that night. In all, I think we have caught 112 or 113 keepers this week.
