short family reunion 2010
IMG_0400
we just returned from a long weekend in brookings, oregon (the last town on the coast before you hit california) for my dad's family reunion.

tagg was obsessed with the beach. (even though to this san diego native, it was more like a windy place where hard sand met cold water.) we literally had to stop him from going all the way in.

my parents at the bonfire at the "beach".

we went on a hike to see the amazing redwood trees. tagg was quite the little daredevil and just wanted to climb higher and higher.

tagg with his cousins-ish. to be honest, i dont know his exact relationship status to ella, julie and jason. but he sure did love them all.

we were laughing pretty hard while taking this picture. i made tucker take off his shirt and pretend to climb a tree. i legitimately hate the whole twilight situation but sometimes its fun to play into it. honestly, some of our teenage cousins wanted their picture taken with "edward"!

it is kind of hard to tell, but we are standing in front of a huge tree that had fallen over. that was its trunk. pretty impressive.

it was so cute when tagg insisted on sitting on "gampa"'s lap. and who knows why tucker thought he belonged in the great-grandkids picture.

the grand children. minus taylor, kenny and kim. right before this picture was taken my grandpa yelled "MERRY CHRISTMAS". so funny.

we also took tagg to the little theater in town to see his first movie, toy story 3.

you never know what kind of face tagg will make for a picture. its kinda a crap shoot.

i had a great and relaxing time with my family in brookings. there's nothing like good times in a small town with loved ones.
