Mom & her little man

I really like this picture, even though it's underexposed for the foreground... 

Lunch!

 

Goofy smile

 

Fun in the sand!

 

Let it shine!

This fresnel lens originally was imported from France with an oil burning lantern. Oil had to be replenished every 2 days from the oil room. Today it's automated with a flashing light every 2 seconds (twice) then dark for 14 seconds (repeat). With this lense it can seen by ships some 24 miles out...fascinating!

Seeing circles

Kaelan actually climbed up all the way. Had to be 42" and just made it! 

Here we are in Newport, OR.

I actually do get into the pictures..once in a while. I had somone snap it for us!
