Dory Days

Enjoy the sunshine & go play or work on projects around the house? Hmmm! That is the question we ask ourselves every Saturday! We decided to do both! We started our day down in Pacific City for the 50th annual Dory Day celebration! We watched the Dory boats come onto the shore from out in the ocean, we also took a look at many of the boats on display.

Oh what fun it was to be at Cape Kiwanda on a beautiful day!

We enjoyed the parade--the kids loved chasing after all the candy the most!

No, Mara isn't having a bad hairday! It was just super windy!

One of the dory boats in the parade--anyone who had a dory boat was in the parade! We also saw Smokey Bear, clowns, bikers, Forest Service rig, you name it! It was quite the parade for a small town!
Instead of candy being thrown from the float--someone threw flowers. Usually Mara loves smelling flowers but decided to be grumpy instead! It's time to go home for nap!

Usually parades have lots of floats--nope this parade only had boats!

A parade of boats is a terrific idea. You would never see that in Utah, except at Lake Powell's marina on a weekend.
Congrats, for choosing the right and playing together. Nate always had a good time with the children and needs to play with them.
