Dodge Ball
We had an intense game of dodge ball one night. We also played Boche Ball, which I didn't get any pics of, but we setting up a tournament for next year...can you tell we're a little competitive!





The Fiber-Glass Buggy
This was made by my Great-Grandpa (my mom's grandpa). It was so awesome to have it out riding with the 2nd, 3rd and 4th generations!
Cousins
(Brady, Me, Austin, Kaden, Amanda, Kohl, Erica, Jessica, Zach)



Erica took it for a test drive


Going on a cruise to the beach!


Kohl is ready to GO!


Marilyn and my mom...she tore it up! My mom drove it out into the dunes, took it down a VERY steep hill and got 'er stuck! She was chargin'!

Our night rides
My grandpa's home is on a mountain with tons of trails to ride on. I think it's fairly equal fun compared to the dunes. Some of the trails are well worn and easy to follow, others, you feel like you're getting led down a secret pathway to nowhere...such an adventure! Just watch out for unsuspecting tree branches, Jason! (Story to follow below)

Jason

Uncle Brian

my bike


A little dirty! And I forgot to change my shoes and rode through a mud puddle in my uggs.

Shooting the Big Guns
So I shot my first gun and man did I shoot a good one. I shot a 30 oot 6 and a 38 and a 9mm. The shotgun kinda knocked me off my feet...power baby!
The kids shot a 22, loved it of course.






So here is the story
It wouldn't be an Oregon trip with out someone getting hurt, and it wouldn't be a Jason adventure with out something crazy happening! He was riding up the hill, like he had done so many times before, but this time a bulldozer had gone up in the morning to clear out for the loggers. Well it knocked a branch out just enough on the trail and when Jay came around the corner, it stuck him in the arm and ranked him off the quad. His face and arm took the brunt of the fall, and somehow through the helmet, 2 of his porcelain veneers shattered.
He is still very sore, we're hoping to get him some new teeth by next week.



THANK-YOU SOOOO MUCH GRANDPA!!!!!!!!



Here are some videos of the boys having fun.
