Florence Excitement

We had a very busy couple of weeks.   We got to enjoy lots of bonding time with Grandma and Grandpa,

which included a ride in Grandpa's MG, which he restored himself.

Some very serious discussions with Great Grandma over ice cream.

I'm not exactly sure what they were talking about, 

      

but they both seem pretty satisfied with the outcome.

Some intense games of Tiddly Winks.

And a history lesson from Great Grandma.

We also got to take a helicopter ride up the coast, thanks to Great Grandma.

The kids were THRILLED.  

One of their most favorite things was wearing these head sets.

Grandma and Grandpa waiving us off.

The pilot circled over Great Grandma's house so she could waive at us.   This was so cool!  If you look closely you can see her out on her back patio with Uncle Bob.

Then we headed  out over the sand dunes to the coast.

Here is the opening to the Seal Lion Caves.   They were all outside sunning themselves.

And we were lucky enough to fly over 3 whales cruising through the waters.

The pilot said this was pretty rare, so we felt very lucky.   This was just plain awesome!

More spectacular views

Chloe cracked herself up by saying "Roger That" after every sentence.

She and Logan loved hearing their voices over the headsets and kept a running dialog the ENTIRE flight.

Thank you Great Grandma for giving us such an unforgettable adventure.

Speaking of adventure,

A trip to Oregon would not be complete without our ride on the dunes.

I think Grandma gets just as big as a kick out of this as we do!

Another unforgettable day!
