OREGON COAST!!

One of my favorite places to visit is the Oregon Coast.  It is a cold, crazy, fun beach.  This year we hit Seaside and (every so briefly) Depot Bay.

We met up with my parents and Aunt Kristy, cousins Cayden and Kaysha, and Cousin Uncle Colby.

We got lucky in that there were a few warm days.  If you have ever visited here - you count your lucky stars if you aren't freezing!

Thane wasn't able to get the time off work, but we tried to make the best of it without him.  We were grateful for family who would help out.






The beach swings are always a hit!!



At Cannon Beach we got to see a lot of star fish and other fun sea creatures.







The 4 wheel bike.  DO NOT BE FOOLED!  This may look fun....but it is HARD work!  Ok...it was fun....but it was HARD work!!  Good thing we had Alexis to pull us through, she was the strongest one!




One of the fun things about Seaside is walking the shops..we got to:

Try on silly hats


Visit a shark museum..  (no child was injured in this photo)



Ride the Seaside Carousel..


Get treats at the candy shop



Played Fascination (a certain Mom who shall remain nameless ROCKED blackout and won over 1,000 tickets :)



Ate at Pig N' Pancake



We also flew kites on the beach and (MY FAVORITE) built a fire and roasted marshmellows.





We had some Karate Kid moments



To top it off, we stopped at Multnomah Falls on the drive back home!  It was pouring rain but my kids loved it.  VERY FUN TRIP!

  1. LOVE the Cousin Uncle Colby...I told him about that last night. He thought it was cute. Other than the wound in the attic where we left our DNA mark and a raccoon that tried to eat my baby...I would say it was a success!
