Gresham and Camping Trip

Last Sunday was Mama's(that is what we grandkids call her) 80th birthday (dad's mom). Our family took her and Papa out to dinner to celebrate. She is a 4 foot spunky little Mexican lady and it is amazing to think that she is already 80 years old. It was nice to spend the night with them and visit. Happy Birthday Mama!

The next day we cut across to the Oregon coast and spent the rest of the week camping our way down to Bandon. I didn't realize it, but I really didn't take too many pictures, which seems kinda of strange. My dad wore this hat everywhere we went. It is one of those that has hair coming out of the top of it. His brother (who has a full head of hair, which is the opposite of my dad) gave it to him as a joke. You wouldn't believe how many strangers asked if that was my dad's real hair. In all seriousness, one lady told him that she had been trying to get her husband to do his hair all spikey like his "hair" for years. It was so funny!!!
The last night, Jason and my mom cooked fresh fish on the camp grill. It was delicious!

Looks like you had a great time! It is fun to celebrate such milestone birthdays. Did you get to spend time with your brother along the way as well?

Sounds like you had a really nice time. Nice that you guys could spend time with your parents just hanging out. Too funny about the hat.

That hat is too funny! Glad you had a great camping trip. Hard to believe school is starting so soon.
