A post with too many photos, and in no particular order, about our fast and furious trip to the Oregon Coast this summer. We drove to Beaverton and stayed the night before continuing on to Newport for a couple fun days with family.
A quick stop at Multnomah Falls.
Swimming with some new friends at the hotel pool. They were playing Marco Polo but it turned into Marco "Pollo" and I almost died from how cute it was.
You can't really see how huge these hydrangea are, the biggest I've ever seen!
Matt was beaming, he loves the ocean. Definitely a beach bum.
Collin, who had never seen the ocean (if you don't count the Puget Sound or San Francisco Bay) was all in. He had to be dragged out for food because he was enjoying himself so much. We also had the best luck with Oregon Coast weather, this sunny day was more like a California beach. (without all the people!!)
Beach babes!
Sand crabs :)
I just HAD to recreate this moment.
10 years later...
My Great Aunt and Uncle were celebrating 80th birthdays!
Most of our group made it into a picture on the last morning together.
Seriously, Matt was in his happy place. Just giddy, the entire trip.
We celebrated Kaleb's 15th birthday with big breakfast and then he got to go surfing.
My Grandma and her twin brother.
It can be a special kind of joy to share your immediate family with your extended family. I come from good stock! ;)
Aubrey! Your family cracks me up and you are such a rebel, you little rule breaker :0
ReplyDeleteYou (meaning we) are not nearly old enough to have a Junior in HS... especially since I'm older than you. I am in such a time warp.
I know, right!? My mom just kept pointing to the sign. And the weather was a little crazy to be heading down a rocky cliff :/
DeleteAnd yes, my life is one big time warp. I still feel like I just finished high school some days.
