We took a fun trip to Oregon to spend a few days with my brothers and sisters in August. We rented a big house on the coast in Yachats and packed in as much fun as possible. On the way there and back we stopped in Pasco and stayed with Joe and Melissa, which was great!
Before we even left, my mom and sisters stayed with us to get a head start on their trip. Grandma always knows how to wear out the little ones. This picture of Clara and Connor falling asleep on her just cracks me up.
We went through Portland and after getting quite lost in construction we finally got to ride on the tram.
Then just before meeting up with family we stopped at the Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport. Quinton and Clara absolutely loved seeing all of the aquatic life. The coolest part was the shark tunnel.
Jellyfish seriously creep me out.
Barry really wanted to go crabbing while we were there and he found a way. They rented a boat for a few hours and after a lot of hard work in the cold wind, everyone feasted on crab that night. Here is Barry on the boat with Quinton, Jeni, and Triston.
Even though it was very chilly, we tried to spend as much time at the beach as we could. It was fun playing in the waves, looking through rocks, flying kites, and finding starfish and other things in the tide pools.
Quinton and Triston were inseparable most of the time.
Another fun stop: the Hatfield Marine Science Center
Sunfish
We went to the bay at Newport and walked around all of the fun shops. Near some of the docks there were a bunch of sea lions soaking up the sun.
