A day on the Oregon Coast

Well we made it to Arizona! We are having so much fun with family here and staying super busy. But we definitely miss Ronnie. He spent the week driving across the country with his little brother, Clay. Really glad we didn't have to do that... It would have been a nightmare with 2 little kids. Although flying by myself and 2 kiddos was a little crazy too. Not looking forward to doing it again in a few more weeks when we fly to NJ.

So we had such a fun week when my mother-in-law, Val and sister-in-law Mae and her two kids came to visit us. I can't believe how many people we crammed into our tiny place but we did and it was a ton of fun. I'm so glad they got to visit before we moved. Probably one of my favorite things we did was drive to the Oregon coast and play on the beach. I'm sad it's probably our last time there. Such a beautiful place.We went to both Seaside and Astoria. Ruby had a blast and the whole week after that she kept asking for "beach!". It was adorable. We will definitely need to make a couple trips to the Jersey shore this summer.

 

^Seriously the funnest daddy/uncle. Even though the water was so cold they played so hard.

^Loves chewing on my keys. Gahhh the cheeks! 

^These two obviously had tons of fun playing in the sand. 

 ^Love these awesome people! We drove up to Astoria after Seaside and drove across that bridge you see in the background to Washington. So beautiful. Then we drove back and went up to the Astoria Column. I'm actually not exactly sure what it was but it seemed like an old lighthouse. We climbed up to the top and enjoyed the killer view. These kids were troopers.

 ^They are the best :) 

 ^Ronnie took this one. I like it, despite my cheesy grin :)

^These two were adorable. First looking for ladybugs and then picking flowers. Little girls are awesome.

So glad we got to go to the Oregon coast one last time! Hopefully we will back again someday. It was so fun having family in town and also seeing some of our favorite things one last time. We did a lot of other fun things during the week too like going downtown, the zoo, and the tulip festival! I may try and put together another post with more pictures. We had a good time. Hopefully people will come visit us in PA too!
