Seaside, Oregon

We headed out for a scenic drive to the Pacific coast... WOW!!! WOW!!! WOW!!!

At first we were a bit cold but it warmed up quite nicely!!

We found sand dollars and frolicked in the surf. Daddy rented some super cool 3 wheelers!!! THEY WERE A BLAST!!!!!!

Soon it was so warm that Eli and Daddy had to go in!!!

We rinsed off... the sand was really clean!! We headed out for famous taffy and delicious fish!!!

SO FRESH AND YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!

It was Mommy's favorite part of the trip!!!! Such a blessing of a day. Jody also was able to visit his mom's resting place where they scattered her ashes.

Silly but fun/Dog Walking

We were out for breakfast and they had the greatest kid's menu at Elmer's!! It was such a fun read and had tons of things to do!!

Walking the doggies!!! SO MUCH FUN!!!! We had to take turns, the kids were a little rabid about getting to hold the leash.

Coco Doughnuts and Malling

No sales tax!!! LET'S GO WILD!!
Just joking.

But a hemp hat was bought and we raided the Macy's clearance section well thanks to Uncle Bill and Corey's $20 birthday money!!

Never take Daddy shopping. He will buy anything!!! The littles were so happy for a shopping spree!!! Daddy got bath bombs and Uncle Corey treated to candy and beanie boos!! Tracker and Bella... new family.

We got accidentally locked out of the house so we headed to a beautiful park. We got to see a large water rat called a nutria!!

We also headed to see the 2nd largest in volume waterfall in the US... Willamette Falls. So beautiful!!

City of Roses & Parks

We sure did a lot of walking!!! The roses were just lovely. I never knew there were so many varieties.

Ella put on a few performances on this stage in front of quite a few people. She even got some applause. Eli was her manager... NOW PRESENTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We headed to a park by Corey's house and enjoyed some more nature. It was so easy to breathe!!!!

And finally some delicious vegetarian lasagne from the gourmet Uncle Bill!! We ended the night with hot tub time.
