The Crew


We have been home from the coast a little over a week and I have yet to post any photos taken while we were there.  Kim and I had the luxury of flying to Portland then driving for a short while to one of our favorite spots on this earth.  We did not miss the long trek from Boise to the beach.  We rented a house called the Octupus Gardens.  The garden, which lends the house it's name, was a lush oasis of green dotted with various areas to relax and enjoy the beautiful weather.  This portrait was taken in the garden, a lovely backdrop.  The beach was 2 blocks away from our house.  It was great fun to have all the kids close.  Both the Botkin boys and their darling little familes stayed with us at the house.  The Bishops were very close up the road.  We were able to make some wonderful memories during our few days of get away.  It was a relaxing rejuvinating time for us.  Our family is growing and such fun awaits us as we remember past and look forward to future adventures of the Woods, Bishops and Botkins.
