celebrating at the coast

To celebrate Dave and Paulines homecoming from Peru, the whole family spent the week in a little town near Tillamook. There were 27 of us so we had to rent to large beaches houses to fit everyone. We had beautiful weather and a wonderful time.

I'm trying to show the rock crab that was hiding inside Seth's shirt. I was actually surprised that he held it because he's always been very nervous that the "clobster might chimp him"
