The Happy Family at the Happy Clam

On Tuesday, June 26, 2011 we drove to Portland, Oregon and picked up the two daughters and their families for a week’s family reunion.  Lois and her family had flown in from Australia and Japan after seeing Jody’s family in San Jose, CA and Nola and her family had flown in from Texas.  This is the first time in many years that the girls and their families have been together.

This blog is pictures of the family hanging out at The Happy Clam which is the house that was rented for them all to stay in.  They were taken over several days.

This is the living room corner of the second floor.

And this is the dinning room area.

This is the view towards the bridge and our RV park.

This is the view out the channel to the Pacific Ocean.
