Depo Bay, OR - May, 2003
In mid-May we all drove down to Depo Bay, Oregon, which is on the Oregon coast for a family vacation. The first night we didn't get to the coast, but stopped in Vancouver Wa., and spent the night at Uncle Brians house. Once in Depo bay though, we met up with Oma and Papa, and Aunt Karen and Uncle Craig, and spent the week sightseeing, and having a good time.
Moira and Uncle Brian in the back yard, playing in the sprinklers.
Kathy with Delaney, enjoying the sunshine. Kathy also plays a pretty mean game of lawn darts.
Moira and Delaney on the famliy room floor. Ones relaxing, the other showing off.
Down at Depo Bay, and Oma Woods gets to finally hold Delaney.
Moria enjoyed the kiddie pool, and so did we, except for the incessant false alarms of "PooPoooo!".
Delaney doing what she does best.

Moira and Daddy in the kiddie pool again.
Moira getting ready to 'jump' in.
Moira in the deep end.
Smile.

Close to Auntie, looking up (probably at Mommy flying the kite).
Still looking up.....

Dad's hugging Moira.
Mommy and Moira.
Uh-oh, sand in the pants.
Moira lost interest in the kite, but not the sand.
'Oh mom, please put down the camera'.
At the aquarium in Newport (very nice).
A tank with a tunnel under the bottom, and a bubble that comes up the middle for a 360 degree view.
Of course, Mommy had to take part.
As did Auntie.
.....and Oma (at this point, I dropped the camera and RAN).
Moira petting a starfish.
Daddy trying not to get too wet, Moira trying to get closer.
Papa, Oma, and Moira heading off to see the Octopus, Seals, Otters, and Birds.

Oma looking as well.

Walking in a glass tunnel - with I believe sharks in the surrounding water. Very cool.
Delaney and Mommy next to a pre-historic predecessor of the Great White.
Auntie Karen and Moira enxt to the Otter pool.
Papa, Mommy, and Delaney taking a break.
On the way back, we stopped off at one of the two lighthouses near Depo Bay and Newport. The little ridge behind Kirsti/Moira/Oma/Craig/Karen is actually into the water, and covered by birds.
Moira showing off her sense of style.
We say 'smile', and she winks. We don't know.
Another pose, with her back to the ocean.
Mommy and Moira sharing a laugh.
Moira lying down next to Delaney. One's sleeping, the others trying to get out of it.
Moira and her sand castles. Daddy would build, Moira would demolish.
Clearing operation underway......
Another wink.
still playing.....
Daddy makes and appearance.
Uh oh - I think we're unhappy.
Daddy and Moira in their little creation.
Besides sand castles, we also ran from the waves. Great fun.
