The Seaside Vacation

We're about a month late posting this, but we wanted to put up some pictures of our big summer vacation. Our first was in Seaside, Oregon, where we were able to have a Heath family reunion. And anytime you put Heath men near the ocean, they are going to jump in, no matter how cold it is. Luckily, this water was cold enough that after about five minutes we couldn't feel anything below our necks.

Here's a picture of Dad getting his ankles wet. His diabetes makes it much easier for him to withstand the cold to his extremities. That's why he's still smiling.

One of the highlights of our time in Seaside was the family talent show. Chad, of course, is the most talented among us.

In addition to sharing his more . . . er . . . specialized talents, he wrote and performed a song with the boys.

The boys also did the Muppet version of "Bohemian Rhapsody" with their own puppets.

Megann taught everybody a Zumba dance, which is probably her second-best talent (her first talent is giving Dusty looks that are laced with hidden meanings)

Dusty performed some acrobatics with Libby, and then Jared performed some similar, though slightly more athletic, acrobatics with Courtney.

Mom made fun of Dad in Spanish, while Jared unwillingly translated.

Dad sang a very sweet song to the grandkids . . .

And Eli sang "No One Likes a Frowny Face" with one of the best frowny faces I've seen all year. And I taught freshman!

Jemayla and I spent a large portion of our time at Seaside hanging out with our nieces and nephews, and we had a great time.
