Ringing in the New Year

This new years we were invited to the beach with Callie’s family. We headed out on a snowy Thursday afternoon and as we started up the coastal range the traffic came to a standstill. As we slowly moved along we were passed by 3 ambulances and several police cars then we came to the actual cause of the delay. There was a 6 car pile up one of the cars being a police car. The roads were slick. After that we had a close call of our own when the car in front of us started sliding sideways and we couldn't stop. It took an extra hour, but we made it. The next day we all headed out to the Tillamook cheese factory. We had some yummy ice cream cones. Then we went to see a light house. We couldn’t go in it though because there had been some vandalism recently. It was a beautiful day! We did pass another car accident though, they had hit some black ice and rolled their car, so scary! Then the kids had fun ringing in the new year with pots and pans. Nathan wasn’t a fan of the noise!
