July 4th 2019 ~ Part Three!

Beach time after the parade! 

 A very nice group of family members that were having a family re-union joined our family for some awesome speed volleyball playing! 

 Fishing and tide-pooling on our way home Friday afternoon!

July 4th 2019 ~ Part Two!

Traditional July 4th parade in Rockaway Beach! 

So fun to have Taylor, Victoria and Luke, and John and Valerie there with us! 

July 4th 2019 - Part One!

We were very blessed to be able to take the motor home to Tillamook/Rockaway Beach again this year for the July 4th festivities there! We pulled away on July 3rd and hung out in Tillamook all day.

 We park the motor home in a parking lot of the Ashley Inn that is set-up with hook ups for RV's.  

It is only $30.00 a night and we can use their pool and enjoy their complimentary coffee! :-)

There is a Goodwill adjacent to the Ashley Inn where we park, so that comes in real handy when we forget something . . . like swim trunks.  :-)  

 Of course, we HAVE to go to the Tillamook Cheese Factory!

 And enjoy some Tillamook ice-cream!! 

 Joe and Brielle are always on the lookout for a fishing hole. 

And since there was a little river nearby within walking distance, they needed to check it out! 

Special Milestone Today!

Today was Brielle's last visit to Seattle Children's hospital as part of her participation in a pharmaceutical trial of the new Hep. C. medicine.  We've completed nine months now of visits there! 

She took her last blood draw like it was a piece-of-cake!  She watched it again, and without a flinch or tear!  All her blood work has come back with the virus being undetectable! We're so grateful for this new medicine and her total healing!  Praise the Lord! 

 We've enjoyed the seasons around this sign!  There were beautiful fall colors in October/November, snow in the winter and now these pretty summer flowers!  

 Our drives to Seattle and the time spent together has been very special for Brielle and I! 

 I am so grateful for this too!
