Day 9.

Roseburg to Lincoln City, Or. Beautiful drive on a Sunday, no traffic, Sun is out and sky is clear.  Stopped only for coffee. Devil's lake KOA was our destination, where we set up the trailer and camp then left to meet family. Dad's house is 10 minutes down the road, where we had a little BBQ. Sister Patty, Nephew Zack, Niece Ashley, her boyfriend Tyler, Dad, his girlfriend Jerrie, Niece Tiesha, her boyfriend Spencer, all made it out. We had an awesome time catching up and watching the kids soak each other with water squirters. Thanks Aunt Patty! It was a little emotional being there without Grandma Carol but we could also feel her with us. We explored the creek behind the house, the water was much lower and changed direction a bit. It was so nice to have everyone together again, this has not happened in so long. Carol's passing has really been hard on every single person in a different way. She really brought us all together, and always had us smiling and laughing. We will all have to figure out this new phase of life, in her physical absence. She was the one that showed us all to Live Laugh Love Always, hard to remember sometimes.
