Happy New Year (sort of)

We went to the Long Beach Peninsula to see mom & dad for New Year's. Above is Simon partying. New Year's Day Steph woke up with the stomach flu, and was in bed for the next 24 hours straight. Not a good 2007 so far for her! Earlier that day, Willapa Bay was unusually calm, so I kayaked over to the famous Cedar Grove. Above is a cedar tree. It looks larger in real life. Below is a sitka spruce (rare for the grove) we once named Bruce the Spruce.
