We just got back from a week over on the Oregon Coast. It was nice to get away, especially from all the smoke here from the awful fires around our area. Nate's parents came with us so that was fun and mom came to watch our little farm. Thanks Mom! We really appreciate it.
We are on our way!
Lots of naps! This pup instantly fell asleep every time we got in the truck. She slept pretty much the entire way!
Daddy's girl already! Helping him drive.
These kids loved the ocean. The weather was fantastic. They were in the ocean for hours!
This one loved digging in the sand.
Middle age bay watch! :)
Baseball on the beach!
Charlie loved climbing on the ship.
We enjoyed Nate's parents coming along with us.
So tired!
Seaside Aquarium
This was the coolest octopus! It was white gray when it was sleeping and then it turned red/pink when it woke up and moved around.
Feeding the sea lions. Emma dropped some of her fish.
A few family photos in Seaside.
Spending the night at Nanni and Boppi's cabin in a bunk bed! So fun!
Nate caught a few crabs with his hands!
The girls!
While catching crabs, the boys also found some sand dollars. This is the first whole sand dollar we have ever found.
Lots of bike riding in the campground.
We saw sea lions off of the observation deck.
Fort Clapsop
Cooper enjoyed going here after learning about it in the fourth grade.
Bella enjoyed the walks.
And she is done!
Astoria bridge
Coop and Nate went kayaking for a couple hours one morning.
The last day we were there was rainy and it was a perfect day for a drive to Tillamook.
Yum!
The drive was beautiful!
We saw so much wildlife. This Elk was right in town, but on our drive to the jetty we saw Elk, tons of deer, and baby fawns.
When you can't have campfires, this is how you make s'mores. :)
Time to go home!
Multnomah Falls
Ready to be out of the truck!
Emma finally fell asleep less than an hour from home. We had a wonderful time!
