After lunch at the Seafood Station we went in search of a Peg Leg Pirate that Wayne could use as a flag for his RZR, one was finally found in Old Town Florence. TRC is where we parked again, where free parking is not free. We had a senior breakfast it was OK but will not do that again. There is a Hot Rod cafe that would have been a better choice and much cheaper. Luck was not with us today.
We have blogged about Sea Food Station before. It is an old gas station turned into a small restaurant. I do believe it was 5 years ago that we stopped here the first time. This year they have a new cook, Kane Haole (Hawaiian name) he is from Maui, and has created a new menu Aloha Susi and Foods From Hawaii, besides the regular menu that they have always had, there is also a daily catch of the day special. OH so many choices and I ended up with the same ole thing.
After I had already stated eating Wayne asked if I had my camera, that is why my plate is hidden a little bit, most of my slaw was gone. I was able to have fish and chips with my fish grilled. It was ono!!! Do believe this was the best we have had at Seafood Station. 
Out Wayne and I caching with Johnnie this morning, a little cool so it was the prefect time to cache. Lots of trees in the Great Northwest and that always make for a different kind of caching. Lots of flowers too and could not pass up the chance to get some pix. John was the star today and found 2 of 3 caches.....the third cache I found but since it was a spider Johnnie had to get it I just pointed the way. 
Monday night us girls decided Wayne NEEDED to take us to the casino for a little gambling. It was a hard sell but he finally gave in and took us the the Mill Casino. Wayne left happy since he played, had a clam chowder and fries and was still a couple bucks ahead. The rest of us just enjoyed playing.
Once again here is Wayne and Doug bonding that was last night. Today we hit the dunes here are a few pix . Once again we went to the beach, it sure can be cold at the beaches here. Now everyone is in camp reading or sleeping what a lazy relaxing day. 
Wayne and I arrived and got our rig set up by noon..... around two Doug, Tami, Trace, Cassidy, John and Charlene arrived. An hour later camp was completely set up. Amazing how quick they can get things set up.....could it be that the duns was calling "come and play" ?
Trace on his scooter. Ollie, and Pedro has there own little play area. They like to come to our motor home to visit. Cassidy unloading wood that John always brings so we can have a huge fire. As you can see camp was a busy place this afternoon. Now that camp is all set time to go play.........
First picture is of a SLUG, I had to take a picture, have never seen one that large. That is a 5 inch ratchet laying next to the slug.
This afternoon we picked up Trace and Cassidy and headed for Woodland, did some caching and we found around 6 caches. This was a little rest area on the Lewis River, the "ship" is named Mascot. Took us a while but finally made the find. I got so excited about caching I forgot to take many pictues. Tried useing my new GPS but need to do a lot more pratice and reading the instructions. I did just download a new app on my iPhone, we will try that out tomorrow. 
Woodland has a nice skate board park so we had Trace show us some of his moves. We did not stay at the park for long since it was chillie out today. It was a nice special time with the kids this afternoon. 
Here is Doug and Wayne having special bonding time. Hailey Chelsey and Cassidy, all looking beautiful and then looking silly, that is teenagers for you. Have to keep busy till time for fireworks so we worked on a puzzle. This one we had done before but it was still fun. 
on the second and third on July we set off fire works in front of Doug and Tami's house. Both nights neighbors came over to enjoy the fire works with us. 
Our fist two days was spent in front of the Morris's Home. The very first thing I noticed now nice Tami's flower garden looked in the front yard. I grabbed my camera and snapped these pictures, it crossed my mind that Tami had done an exceptional job this year. Happened to comment to Tami about her garden and that is when I found out that it was all Trace's Handy work. Great Job Trace. 
We are parked in front of Tami and Doug's house for the next couple days. It rained, or should we had heavy mist most of the way here, a typical welcome to WA. Padro and Olie were the only ones home when we got here. This was the first time we have seen Padro (white one) he joined the family last year after we went back to CA. It is going to be fun with two little ones at Coos Bay.....I am sure I will be visited every night so they can run loose up and down the MH. 
We are in space B-23 if any one wants to come and visit come on, but make it quick since we will only be here overnight. We hit the freeway at 8:15 am and checked in at 1:11 pm. After getting everything set up I took a walk around the loop, even walked down to the river to a couple of pictures. Found a berry bush I think it is a blackberry only blooms for now. Oregon state parks are always so nice, not many people here, but it is Monday. Will head on down the road in the morning, no rush whenever the spirit moves us. Will be in front of Doug's house on Tuesday and on to Paradise Point WA on Wednesday. It is sunny but understand we could have rain by Wednesday, will be a nice welcome to Washington.
Today was Bryce's first All Stars tournament and the game today was a rough one on them, needless to say they did not win. Bryce pitched for a while till he got his arm hit with a ball, this is the 3rd time this year. His poor arm is all skinned up, my poor boy.
Sunday I jumped in the car and headed for Woodland. It was time for a Grand kids fix. As always they had several things to do so I just tagged along and enjoyed the day. First off Jon and Karla's youngest daughter graduated from high school. Her party was a BBQ for family and friends. Tri-tips and chicken was the main course which was yummy, nice tossed green salad, fruit salad, and a macaroni salad rounded out the rest of the meal. Lot of sweets but I did not even look at them since I can not have any. The cake pops Rhonda made looked wonderful, I even had to carry them to the car. Now was that fair? I think I just grazed most of the time we were at the party. I made sure I visited the cooks and of course I got a sample. We had to leave the party early since Jace has a band concert.
The concert was in Davis, there was 4 bands that played, Jace's band was the 2ND one up. I was able to go to his 2ND practice and what a difference a few weeks make. They played 3 songs and did very well. It was hard to get pictures since I was several row back from the stage. I was also visiting with Jace's Nana, but not while Jace was playing of course. 
What a difference a few years make, found some of my old blogs from 2005, Jace was playing Tball. How cute is that? The now pictures are from this year, Jace coming home from a Leadership week end. Jace at one of my favorite restaurants in Davis Mermaids. Hey! Jace you and Mom had a lunch date without me. 
Bryce his first year playing Tball, can not believe how little he was when he started. While playing he always had a smile on his face. Of course here is Bryce today and he is quite the baseball player. He practices before practice and after practice.....needless to say he love the game.
Today is another cold day in Corning CA. Getting tired of this cold weather and so I checked the forecast for the rest of the week and was pleasantly surprised. Today is cloudy and with low 54 and a high of 67. 
Tomorrow it is suppose to be high 81 low 60, Wed 84-60, Thur 88-61 and Fri 87-67. I will believe it when I see it. Just telling Wayne about Thursday getting to 88 made him complain about the heat and it is not even here yet. You know the old saying if you do not have anything to talk about you can talk about the weather. 
Since Wayne's surgery on May 18 he has been on liquid diet. Needless to say he is so hungry. He is on what they call a clear liquid diet but he can have pudding soooo I suggested milkshake, so far he has not made a milkshake but he has all the stuff to make one. I feel bad eating in front of him but not bad enough to not eat!
Wayne from going to the casino and car show. First we had to spend some of my "saved" gas money from my club card. We used $30, played for about a half hour is we were lucky. Oh well can not really complain. This week end is the Rib Cook off and Car show at Rolling Hills, we were one of the few checking out the cars.
Rhonda skip over this collage and go to the next. Found this paint job quite interesting, not something I would want. A lot of different cars at this show.
The Mini cars are interesting. Mini Fire Department, Mom is taking a picture here, and the owner of the car set off the siren, hope she got a picture of the boys reaction to the siren. Morris Cooper is a Morris Taxi. Then there is your Rover Mini K9 unit and the license Mini Fuz. There are at least 3 more Mini's but these were the best. 
Here are some of my favorites, the surfer "Woodie" ask them if they ever took it to Hawaii, they told me no but they have found parts for there car while visiting the Islands. There is a purple and white Chevy that I should have had in high school since our colors were purple and white. It needs to be a little more purple tho. It was nice to see a different variety of classic cars.
Wayne is doing some better today, after a CT scan and then a X-ray it was determined his digestive system is working it is just working slow. Tomorrow they will once again let him have clear broth several times a day to see how that works. Was relieved to here there were no blockage anywhere.
