Rockaway Beach

The weather was so pretty for the beach. Daniel is the happiest when he can just sit and dig. When his uncles and dad started to dig and build in the sand, Daniel was right there with him. This year KaeLynn seemed to enjoy flying the kite the most. She also loves the water too. She doesn't care if its cold or not. Daniel loves water too, but if he has the choice to swim or dig, he always chooses to dig. We then drove to Camp 18 for dinner. It's a really cool restaurant/ logging museum. They had this huge table that sat all of us just perfectly.

Swimming, and the Beach Trip

So the rest of the week we were supposed to go to the lake, but we didn't want to go camping in the rain. One day we took the kids to an indoor gym called the Kids Club in Washington. They have a ton of really cool things for the kids to play on. They kids LOVED it! Then another day we took them to the Clackamas Aquatic center. They have a wave pool, diving board, and really fun slides. Then the day we planned to go to the beach it was gorgeous weather. We stopped at Tillamook first for some yummy ice cream then headed to Rockaway Beach.

Omri Joseph Dover

Roy'l just had her 3rd child just 3 weeks ago and still came to visit us all the way from Kentucky. Omri is such a joy to be around. He fills up your heart with so much warmth when you hold him. KaeLynn couldn't get enough of him! I knitted him a nice little blanket that I hope he will grow to love.

Shooting

Cavan's siblings came into town last week and we had many fun outdoor activities planned. Then the weather changed all of that. We still went to a friend of ours property in Oregon city to go shooting, but it wasn't warm enough for the adults to go swimming in the lake. It rained, but the kids didn't care. They still swam and had a ton of fun!

Fourth of July

This was our last year to go to Corbett for our annual fourth of July celebration. Our group was very small this year, but we still had fun. The kids loved all the activities they had, and of course the big firework show! The firework show was so long this year. Almost to long, we were getting so tired! The show didn't end until 11:00 pm, so by the time we got home the kids were completely exhausted. They slept in until 10:00 am the next day, which never happens.

Having fun on the river

It's finally warm enough that we have been playing out on the river. We LOVE to play, especially in the water. We went out with our friends on their amazing boat. The kids went inner tubing and the adults wake-boarded. It was so fun! I love this time of year!
