Oregon Coast Family Reunion - 2008

The event starts with preparing for the feast. 
And we have lots of helpers, young and old. 
I thought this was a great picture, smiling, happy, and in the kitchen. 
The fire pit that Lamar built works like a charm.  It can get a bit chilly on the coast, any time of year.
Yep, smile... nice and cozy by the fire. 
The next evening we all made our way to the coast for some beach and fire time.  It was a little drizzly but not bad enough to run us off.  In this scene Lamar has the striker in his hand, ready to light the flame.   
Nice picture here; Mary, Sharky, and Mike.
And another Kodak moment (taken with a Nikon). 
The Nikon wasn't cooperating very well with the fire light.  This is the best fire 'after-dark' fire picture we got.
The next morning Norma and Olga cooked up some banana pudding.  My hero's. I just love banana pudding made the way Grandma did.  Mmmmm!
A nice picture of the Lewis gang.
Here is Lori. 
And, here I am... Rick!
The Barrett family made it to the reunion, and here they are in the kitchen, cooking up a storm.  Mmmmm!  More hero's. 
We did stop for a Nikon moment. This is the whole gang. 
Lori and I stayed an extra day.  Lamar and Olga took us sightseeing.  We visited Yaquina lookout tower and here is a picture of bird rock (a sanctuary) taken from the tower area.
Here is Yaquina tower.
