A Few Days Later...

So here it is "a few days later" as I mentioned in our last post, well, okay, so it's more like a few months (two to be exact) later, but later does come, just not always as soon as we plan or expect it to!

Alright, a brief synopsis of the rest of July...



We had a great opportunity to go to Oregon and visit with Marc's brother, Jeff, and his family! Thanks to Jeff, Terri and kids for letting us hang out with you for a few days! Our kids were able to spend quality time with their cousins and were also able to see the Pacific Ocean. We hadn't been to the coast since Whitney was almost two, a few months before Bryce was born. We also took in the free University Aquarium/museum, a picnic at the beach and Oregon Salt Water Taffy. We decided to do a scenic loop, starting in Eugene, north to Corvallis, west to Newport, south down the Coast Highway, turning East at Florence to head back to Eugene.


Bryce and Whitney checking out the sea anemones!






Here are "the cousins" trying to feed the ducks...apparently the kids weren't feeding them fast enough, thus getting chased, finding safety on the picnic table.




Carter had fun with one of his older cousins, protected from the crazy water fowl!











The trip was fun with a stop at Multnomah Falls (sorry if I misspelled that) just east of Portland on the way back home. Enjoy the pictures!
