Seaside Oregon

In the beginning of June we went to Seaside Oregon. We had so much fun. Kevin wasn't able to go with us because of work. We spent time at the beach and lots of time with family. The picture just below was the view out our back door. It was gorgeous! The weather was nice a cool, but not very rainy. It was perfect.




As Tyler was trying to run away from the wave he tripped and the water caught up with him. The water was pretty cold, but so worth it.


There was a Carousel Mall and in the middle of the mall was a carousel. The kids loved riding on it.We visited the Tillamook Cheese Factory, got to taste different kinds of cheese, and had ice cream. They have some YUMMY ice cream.


Visited the Cape Mearers light house. It was the first time the kids and I have ever visited a light house. We went inside and got to climb up and see how it works.
Got to ride pedal cars. We rode one that 6 adults could pedal at the same time. They were a blast but a lot of work. We all realized how out of shape we really are.

We also got to try surfing. We all had wet suits. I thought that David and Ashlie looked adorable in theirs...mine wasn't quite so flattering! Luckily there weren't many pictures of me. David had a blast kneeling on a boogie board in the shallow water and letting the waves push him around. I tried actually surfing. I couldn't balance on the board at all, but I kept trying...until the surf board almost hit me in the face. I stuck my hand up to protect my face and bent all of my fingers backwards and sprained my hand. It hurt really bad. I wanted to keep playing in the water, but I was in so much pain there was no way. Everyone was ready to go by that point anyway so it all worked out.

Fourth of July
We went to the hot air balloons. We also went to the Provo parade. Back to my parents house for homemade ice cream! Then we sat in the field next to the hospital and watched the Stadium of Fire fireworks with my parents, sister and her family. We had lots of pizza, candy, popcorn, and games while we waited.

Camping!
We actually went Camping!!! Kevin and I bought a tent and sleeping bags after we had been married about 1 year. We used it once and it has been sitting in the garage collecting dust ever since. Everyone had a lot of fun. David and Ashlie went fishing with Grandpa and Grandma and Ashlie caught the most fish out of everyone.


Ashlie was VERY proud of her fish! She was so cute and not afraid of the fish at all. Though she wasn't willing to cook the fish and eat it, so we threw back all the fish.


David had a lot of fun fishing too, but wasn't about to touch any fish. (I can't blame him...I didn't want to touch them either!)


Tyler didn't want to even touch the fishing pole let alone get anywhere near the fish, but he had a lot of fun watching David and Ashlie.
