Look at this face...



Look at this mess...


I think we're in trouble...

HITS House Reunion

We always said we'd have a reunion...and it finally happened! These are the four friends that I lived with during my senior year at Whitworth--Karina, Sooz, Heather, and Becky. It's been EIGHT years since we've lived together...and we had a FABULOUS reunion over Labor Day Weekend on the Oregon Coast. We rented a huge house on Lincoln Beach and had a great time just hanging out with each other and our families.

Hazel had matching rain boots...so darn cute!

Gracie and Daddy at the beach

Marc and Jeff confirming that the water was COLD

Gracie just LOVES Auntie Susannah...

Jeff couldn't resist...how often are we on the coast? He had to run in and get wet, despite the frigid water temperature...

The crew going for a walk

Grace loved the waves and the sand

Hazel had cupcakes to celebrate her SECOND birthday. She loves to sing "Happy Birthday!"

On Saturday, we spent the whole day at the house just catching up and enjoying the ocean.

I'm thinking this is just before we played MAFIA. A fabulous game of cunning dishonesty...



Sunday we went in to Depoe Bay to watch the waves come up and splash people. The Nelsons and the Lochheads also got some clam chowder to make the trip official.






It was such a great, relaxing weekend for reconnecting. Thanks, ladies for traveling to make this happen. We MUST do this again soon! Love you all!
