Our annual trip to the Oregon Coast


We've taken a vacation for the last 3 summers with two special families who have been in our lives for many years. We seem to keep adding another baby to the group each year :) So far we've gone down to the Oregon Coast each time. Every year has been quite different, and you never know what the weather will bring. This year was the first time it did not rain, and we were there 5 days. Yahoo!!! Sunny skies the entire time. Can't deny that it was still pretty chilly on the beach. Wells and Ruff's, thank you for a wonderful, very memorable summer vacation. Here's to many more together!
Some of my favorite moments while on our holiday~
*Walkie Talkies while driving
*Walking around barefoot in the sand
*Nolan discovering the sand(and yes, he ate it, YUCK!)
*Eating, eating, and more eating
*Watching all our kids play together
*Reminiscing about some of the good ole' days
*Playing apples to apples and laughing until our sides hurt
*Guitar Hero!
*Staying up with friends until midnight :) Thanks to the condo that could fit us all!
*Shane and the stairs, LOL
*Shopping with the girls in Cannon Beach
*Surviving our dinners out with 6 kids
*Walking along the boardwalk in seaside(especially the people watchin')
*Olivia and Ella's first time flying a kite
*Waves of Grain Bakery

More pictures, and stories to come. Couldn't resist just adding a couple tonight. Love you guys! Thank The Lord we all made it home safe. That felt like the LONGEST car ride ever on the way back. ps-i think the kids are going through withdrawals and are bored without all their buddies. They had so much fun together!
