when we were in oregon, caleb and i took a walk to the park near jen's and we watched a nutria for quite a while.  we watched him swim and eat and caleb even found his den and noticed his orange teeth!


soon after, the family took off for the beach in lincoln city.  here are a couple of beachy shots:


this next one i'm glad came out since i was enjoying watching the waves crash and the spray going up in the air:
