We are so sadden by the loss of our Uncle Mike!!! We all love him and will miss him dearly. Mike was the life of the Ferrin Family Reunions, I mean who else will injure themselves for our enjoyment every summer? Who else will allow his son in law to sew his wound up with a piece of his own hair to avoid making a trip to the hospital? Who else will make up his own words while playing Catch Phrase!? Who else will make the entire family wait for him while he is watching an historical movie inside a visitor center? Who else will want to stay up late and watch Kindergarten Cop and Goonies? Who else will you run into in a random thrift store in a random town searching for good books to read? Who else will try and wrestle Sabrina (Not me!)? Who else will write our family's history? Who else will make each and everyone of us feel loved and important in only the special way Uncle Mike can?
Mike, we love you! Until we meet again, Uncle, Brother, Husband, Dad, Brother in law, Grandpa, you are in our thoughts and prayers!

Ferrin Family Reunion - Summer 2010 - Astoria, OR
The GOONIES house!!! We loved it! It was so fun to see the Goonies house! We all walked up to the house and took photos in front of it...sorry, but you mostly see my family! I hope others will add their photos, too!
Brandon, my husband, "helped" our little girl do the Truffle Shuffle. I video taped it and then he posted it online. The things you do when you are a parent!
We also met up with Larry, Judy, Lori and her husband Josh at the Goonies house. At this point our group was almost complete, except for Eric and Amber, who came the next night and only stayed one night.

These are photos we took inside Steve's work. We got to go and explore the garages. He showed us a really cool car that the art students painted...Cecily and Ariel are posing on it for us! We even got to meet their "office" cat...can't remember his name, but he lives in the building.

This is Thursday morning and we are all in Steve and Kathy's motel room getting ready to head out for the day. Our first stop was the college where Steve works. Then we headed to the Goonies house! Truffel Shuffle!
Then we went to the old County Jail House that was used in the movie Goonies....you know...the jail that one of the Frattelli brothers breaks out of and then they light the parking lot on fire with gasoline. Now it is used as a film museum. We saw a bunch of cool stuff from movies that have been filmed in Astoria. Short Circuit, Free Willy, Goonies...to name a few.
After the touring we went to Steve and Kathy's house and had a street BBQ!
Then we went to a Lewis and Clark visitor center and saw a replica of their old fort and watch a guy dress in traditional garb of the time, fire an old musket!
Last, but not least we went to Cannon Beach. This is the beach used in the Goonies movie. Haystack Rock is the rock that they matched the Doubloon with. We walked on the beach, the kids played, Uncle Dan flew his airplane kite, and we tried to stay warm because it was a bit chilly outside!
We finished the day off with a bite to eat at Mo's restaurant on the beach!
I can't believe we packed that much into one day!!! Needless to say we were all exhausted, but it sure was fun!

Wednesday evening after everyone got into town we decided to go for a walk through a neighborhood below our motel. It was a cute little neighborhood and I took a lot of photos of the cute homes there.
I love the photo of Dan and Mike sitting on the bench enjoying the good company.
