Our time with the Dovers

 The first thing we did when we got together with the Dovers was take our family picture. We have grown so much since our last visit! There are 12 adults and 14 grand kids with one on they way! We then went camping at Lake Merwin, my personal favorite. It was not warm enough to play on the lake, but I was so happy that the weather was so much cooler, I didn't mind at all. KaeLynn and Daniel were so happy to be back camping again with all their cousins. We spent time at the coast and the kids swam at Long Beach. The water was so cold!! Linden loves the water so much, he didn't care it was cold. There was a tide pool that they were playing in so it was a bit warmer then the ocean. He played so hard, and then he just decided he had had enough. The poor thing was shivering so much. I took him back to the vehicle which was much warmer then outside and he warmed up quick. We also walked around the tourist stores and they even did the bumper cars. We went to the newly remodeled Tillamook cheese factory. They did a very nice job. I had so much clam chowder on our visit. It was so good! Then towards the end of our trip, it really was warming up and we got to play on the river. It brought back so many memories being out with the boat and wave runner. We had a beautiful view of Mt. Hood. It felt so good to visit home.
