3rd of July in Clatskanie

Cousin Daniel was great at entertaining the troops.

Daniel gave Ben a ride on the rope swing at their grandma & grandpa's house in Clatskanie.

Our third cousins Maddie and Destiny are first cousins to each other.

Cousin Ryan was an excellent pool jumper. He ran and splashed with style.

We found out a few days before that our great great aunt had passed away. On July 3, we drove to Clastkanie and sat (mostly) quietly (hardly) for her funeral. We didn't make it through the entire service, but we did enjoy singing a few hymns and hearing the story of her life read by our cousin Erin about her Grandma Ina.

After the reception that followed, some of the family headed to Leanne & Tom's to hang out and let the kids release their energy. Their Great Grandma Ina would have enjoyed watching all of the generations of grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great grandnephews play.
