Tristin and his sand bucket...

Tristin had so much fun digging in the sand. He'd stop the second his feet touched the sand and start digging.

Here we are in Cannon Beach

We went to Cannon Beach for a few hours on Saturday. It was fun to go shopping, eat and watch the guys make taffy!

Grace blowing spit bubbles...

Grace was either cracking us up with her funny faces or driving us insain with her screaming on our way back home. The kids did really well for almost 1300 miles in the car!

Grace barking, again...

Grace is barking at the birds again. She was so cute peering over the railing watching them.

Fun in the sand...

Tristin looks like a little man in this picture, all grown up. It's hard to believe he'll be 6 next month.

Daisy & Tristin...

The kids had a lot of fun when we stopped to see the tree. Daisy was about to fall asleep standing up, but she made it

The "big tree"...

I've been coming to this tree for 15 years and it still amazes me every time I see it. It's massive, the kids loved it!

My handsome stud...

Here is Trav posing at the "big tree" just 2 miles from the ocean. It's pretty amazing.

Gracie chasing/barking at the birds...

Grace enjoys barking at any living thing she sees, so the seagulls were no exception. She was after these guys barking like crazy!

Our last night at the ocean

We had a great time at the ocean except for the weather, it was FREEZING with snow, hail and rain almost non-stop. This is our last night and we were lucky to have a break in the weather so we could get down to the beach one last time.
