Ratzlaff Reunion - Oregon 2009

Kathi made this at the beach.......

Dad taking a snooze on the Amtrak

us girls being goofy! ;)

a Blue Angel we HAD to get a picture of while we saw the Spruce Goose at the Evergreen Museum! ;) (Isaac is very into the Blue Angels!) sorr for not posting a picture of the Spruce Goose - its so big that I had about 10 pictures and didn't even have the whole thing on camera!

Isaac at the Pacific Ocean! :) This was his first time seeing and being at an ocean and he had a blast! You will notice by his shorts that he didn't care if the water was freezing cold (which it was!) or not - he went in - clothes and all!!

Isaac and I at the beach - again, notice his clothes! He's completely soaking wet! and the water was seriously freezing!

This was the passenger van that my Aunt and Uncle rented while all 30 of us were there visiting them..... This was later named "the Eventide van" because most of the time it was all the guys in there and with Uncle John driving and most of the Uncles wearing caps - it looked like old people were being carted around! :) Hilarious! ;)

Of course what is a trip to the beach (Lincoln City to be exact) without visiting Mo's chowder house?! It was delicious and had a great view of the beach!!

Kathi and Brandee getting pedicures from their daughters! ;) too cute!

Isaac, Connor, Hailey, Cole and Logan (don't know the other boy) playing at the beach...yes, they acted as if they have known each other all their lives - seeing the kids play together was a real treat! :) Makes me wish we didn't live so far apart!

The falls we went to see at Silver Creek Falls - it was beautiful here!

Isaac and I behind the falls!

Isaac standing "in" one of the 'caves' there...we were pretty sure bats probably nested up inside there somewhere cuz we couldnt' see the end to it...

this was a picture that Isaac took while we were on the train going through Glacier national park... Isn't it breathtaking?! (keep in mind that we were on the train when this was taken, but the train had slowed down while we were going through here, so a picture was easier to take, but we have plenty of photos that didn't turn out because they were too blurry) Also, many say that Montana is God's country - and this picture certainly makes you see why they call it that...

although you can't see this very well, Isaac got a perfect shot of the monument marking the Continental Divide.. This time the train was going full speed and it was a VERY lucky shot that Isaac took and actually got this monument in the picture!

These are just a few of the pictures from our trip...We had a fabulous time there and can't wait for the next reunion!! :)
