Oregon 2012

Our trip to the Oregon Coast was amazing.  The home we stayed in that Grandma and Grandpa rented was fabulous! With I think 13 bedrooms, a huge theater room(that seats 41), lots of bathrooms, a few family rooms, hot tub, etc, etc it had plenty of space for everyone to relax and have a great time.







One of our favorite nights was when Kyle brought out his guitar and he and Angela sang.  They were so good. The girls loved it when they got to join in to their favorite songs that he just seemed to play with ease.  "Call me Maybe" was a big hit. :)

There is something so beautiful about the Oregon coast.  We only had a the sun shining one day and it was great, but it didn't matter.  The misty shore was still an adventure as we looked for agates and starfish and any other treasure we could find.  Kyler took a while to feel comfortable with those waves crashing in to the beach but felt a little bit better in his big brothers arms.




 We could leave that area without heading to Newport, about 20 minutes from Lincoln City where we were, and eat at Mo's. The best clam chowder ever! With yummy bread bowls and my favorite, fish tacos.

  

Most of the guys were able to do some ocean fishing thanks to a friend of Wade's that took them out. I think they started fishing at 11:00pm so it was quite the night fishing adventure.

 

One of the best things about the trip was spending time with cousins!  Baby Stella was a doll and it was fun to see and spend time with her. We loved getting to know Jame's new wife Lexi, better and just love her so much.  She is so great with everyone and feel pretty lucky to have two great  new cousins in the family!

Thanks Grandma Priscilla and Grandpa Larry for making this perfect trip possible.  It definitely brought our extended family closer together and created wonderful memories that will last forever!
