Oregon Coast

We spend a couple of day on the Oregon Coast in our condo. The sun didn't get the memo that is is summer...and I think perhaps this was our COLDEST trip to the coast yet, but the beach is the beach and the kids got their fair share of sand regardless of the weather.
pSomebody dug a huge whole and left it and it became the kids playground. Hours of fun were had here! Us moms spent most of our time in doors with the babies but when the kids were about this one they couldn't get enough of her and she LOVED all the attention.

I love this pic that Erika took it captured it all... of the 3 days we were there this was the only time Gabby and I went to the beach
The kids found a big hole someone left for them and had hours of fun despite the cold...
fetching water to add to the hole
the Oregon rain didn't stop them from having fun
Gabriella and I lasted about 10 min or so then the moms went in with the babies while the dads stayed out with the bigger kids. Gabby doesn't look too amused...she is kind like me when it comes to the cold. Our condo had a perfect view of the pool and beach so though us moms spend a great deal of door indoors we still were able to see the kids having a great time!

Erika and I stayed up WAY too late one night making bracelets. We had such a great time I think this might become a new tradition. We made matching black and white bracelets for us and then I made Gabby 4 little ones and she made her girls matching patriotic ones.
Us adults played HOURS of games and stayed up way too late doing so... the later it got the funnier everything got and kookier Joseph got. We are all avid game players and can never get enough 'game time' in.

Gabriella got her first taste of oatmeal. She DEVOURED IT. She liked it so much that she grabbed the bowl and I pretty much had to SHOVEL it in her mouth as fast as I could. It is safe to say she is a fan. :)

The kids had a fun time riding the luggage cart back up to the hotel room once everything was loaded into the car.
Yet another fun trip to the coast even if the weather didn't cooperate we still had a blast.
