beach day

This is the day before we left Oregon. What better way to spend it than at the beach!

I love my cute little kid!
She LOVES her daddy. I love how they are running towards each other.



Playin' in the water



I love my husband!


Travis wanted to build a big sand castle. Everyone worked really hard to create a big mound and a mote around it. Sadly it never turned into a sand castle and the water never came up to fill in the mote.


Cambree played in the sand.




I love those lips!


Love her little feet and her cute footprints!

Of course could I go on a vacation and NOT have jumping pictures.

Cambree's first jumping picture.


Adam and I being Mario fighting bad guys!

Carson wanted to jump too!



Katie and my dad wanted to get in on the action! Jeremy has good form in the picture!


The boys wanted to destroy the castle!



Travis got buried in the mote.



MyKelle was upset that the destroyed her castle that she worked so hard on. She threw an epic fit, it was awesome!


These 3 went go kart racing! They were giddy!

Amazing Astoria

We played around in Astoria all day and found fun things to do!


We went to Fort Stevens and played on the old bunker things and went on a little hike!


Pretty pictures from our hike.










The kids loved to play on this old Army truck


Pretty Oregon/Washington


I just love my husband!


I swore to myself that I was going to stay in the car, but 237 stairs later we were at the top!


They have opened up a film museum in Astoria because of all the awesome movies that were filmed there. It is set in the old county jail. (the one at the beginning of the Goonies movie)


The little kids loved the green screen. The scene behind them kept changing and they would look at this TV to see what they were standing in front of.


They have lots of fun things from the Goonies movie, here is one of the outfits.


Isn't this the cutest mug shot you have ever seen?


Katie and I sat down in front of a green screen and tried to recreate a scene from a movie.


Here is the Jail and all of us.


Then we drove up to the Goonies house, it hardly looks like it did in the movie. Just a block down the street from the Goonies house is the Elementary school from Kindergarten Cop. The paintings are all still there! It was fun to drive around and see all these things from movies that we love. We guessed what movies 10 different quotes came from so they county jail person gave us all pirates gold!




We went to the hotel and went swimming. Then we all ate some yummy Crab!!


I already miss Oregon so much. I want to go back!

Neptune, Devil's churn, Heceta Head, Sand dunes, and Cape Kiwanda

We woke up really early (4:45) to make it to Neptune for low tide. Unfortunately, the tide was not as low as it said it was going to be so some people had to do some major climbing over rocks! We were able to still see sea life and hold starfish and we had lots of fun chasing the waves! Let's just say Dad and MyKelle may have lost to some of those waves!







She is so curious about the starfish!


Such a brave girl to touch them!





She wanted to eat it!


Look at Carson's face! Gotta love it!





Gage and Darin! What a great picture of them!



Seriously! What a beautiful picture! This is why I love the coast!


The Williams'



While we were already sandy and wet we decided it would be nice to go to Devil's Churn! My dad since he is a chicken stayed up in the parking lot with Hailey and Brinley. The rest of us took on the Devil it self, but Travis wanted to play a little too close with the Devil! (He is crazy!)







Oh yea... Cambree still loves her Daddy very much!


So green... so beautiful





I attempted to climb a tree, needless to say I didn't have much luck!


Next stop Heceta Head Lighthouse! So pretty!


Adam took this DP of Jeremy and I! LOVE IT!


Already sandy and wet? Okay let's go get more sandy by going to the sand dunes! Jo-jo, Poppy, Darin, and Katie went on this big truck with all the kiddo's and Jeremy, Adam, Travis, Natalie and I went on a little one and had a blast! We have done this like 4 or 5 times and this was hands down the best ride yet! I think all of us had multiple sandgasms!


The next day we had a relaxing day driving up the coast to our next hut. We had to stop at Cape Kiwanda and ate of course at Tillamook!


I love my cute little family!
