When grandchildren are visiting from Nebraska, the first thing you have to do is take them to the beach to see the remains of the shipwrecked Corona (also the Milwaukee). We also saw surfers off of the north jetty and porpoises swimming in the bay entrance. Ryan and Austin investigate the stack of the Corona. The rest of the large boat is under the sand.
Holly with the Pacific surf behind her. We were really lucky that the fog burned off after this was taken. Ryan picks up rocks, sand dollars, and various shells.
Austin with the Tsunami Zone sign indicating high ground in the event of a tsunami. They don't have these in Nebraska. Tornado signs would be more likely.
We have the family style lunch offered at the Samoa Cookhouse: soup, salad, pork steak, potatoes, gravy, peas, and cake. Austin loved it, finishing off a meal that would make a lumbermill worker proud.
Holly and Ryan at the Eureka Marina.
Rollie and Austin spent several hours operating the Blackberry, Dandelion, and Crab Grass railroad. Various adjustments after a derailing put them back on track. Grandma fell asleep on her garden swing.
Austin and grandmother making molasses oatmeal cookies while grandfather cooks up some pasta. We rented the movie, The World's Fastest Indian, since Ryan, Holly, and Austin fly to Arcata via Salt Lake City (near the Bonneville Salt Flats). Did you know that Paul Munro actually arrived in Humboldt Bay with his motorcycle? My dad told me that Lou Borerro Junior, a friend of my father, helped Paul and gave him a bucket of bolts for his Indian motorcycle.

Thanks for sharing the pics with us. I'd been wondering what you were up to. Now that we see proof that the visiting grandchildren are real, I suppose we can cut you some slack with Norbag chores.... heh...
