We just got back from an eight day vacation. We made our way to Lincoln City, Oregon to meet Nate's side of the family. It was a very long drive. We stopped and had lunch with John and Nicole in Walla Walla. It was so good to see them. Then we went over to the Johnson's and met the new addition to their family, Pierce. It was so good catching up and letting the children all play together. We miss all of them.
Nate holding Emma and Pierce. He is so cute! Three months younger than Emma.
Yes, Charlie is wearing Ayva's jewelry. He then came out with a pink high heel shoe of Ayva's on. Not too sure about this boy. :) It was pretty funny.
Then we made our way to the coast. We stopped for the evening and continued our journey the next day. We rented a condo and the boys loved the hot tub.

Finding sea shells was Cooper's favorite part and Charlie loved the waves chasing him. That water was freezing. Nate did go swimming and he said it took his breath away. The boys enjoyed building sand castles or wrecking them (Charlie) and flying kites on the beach. One day we went to the Aquarium in Newport and the kids really enjoyed that. We ate at Moe's twice. I had clam chowder every day we were there. Went to the outlet mall the last day we were there to do some school shopping for Cooper. It was good to spend time with Nate's family and see cousins that we haven't seen in years.

Emma telling us about her first trip to the coast.
On the way home we stopped to see the Walkers. The boys had a blast playing together. Cooper didn't want to leave. We had a great time! We stopped by the Multnomah Falls on the way to Boise.
The boys loved the Falls. Coop wanted to walk up to that higher bridge. We told him next time.We spent the night in La Grande and got into Boise around 1ish the next day. It was fun spending time with mom, dad, and Grandpa. We took the boys to the Farmers Market and the Boise Zoo. We traveled home Sunday and poor Coop got carsick. Too much driving. We drove for 5 days out of the 8. He got sick around Riggens and we had to pull off to clean the car a bit. Needless to say he didn't have a booster seat on the way home from Riggens. He felt better once we got back on the road. It was fun, but exhausting.
The Giraffe's were awesome! This was our first time seeing them.
Farmer's Market. This was the boys most favorite part of the day.
And a family photo.
