These pictures are from our annual trip to Lake Marie, which is in the central coast of Oregon. We stayed in yurts again, no luck on the fish even though we had all 9 kids' poles plus all 3 dads, and grandpa's. We did, however, had amazing weather and took advantage of the sand dunes. Oh yeah, can't forget the great eating from grandma - shrimp, crab, oysters, fish, yummy!
