Vacation Part 2

The second week of our trip We made our way down to the beach. We LOVE the beach. We had SO much fun!

Unfortunately While stretching in church Hans did something to his back that was very painful! Here he is laying in the only comfortable position on the bed with Ice on his back… that looks like a hunchback. Haha!

We still made it down to the beach though, and after some good rest pain medication and a couple days, Hans was feeling back to normal !

The beach house

   

My dad made us awesome breakfasts every morning :)

Our first full day at the beach!

They drew with Charcoal on their skin….

   

I made Cameron into a mermaid. Isn’t he pretty? :)  

HAHAHA. Love it.

We found some crabs on the beach!

.

    The boys got together and made a huge sand pyramid and then took pictures of the shadows.

Hans showed us his sculpting skills on the side of the pyramid :)

Hans and I went early morning shell hunting a couple times. It was fun! and we found so many sand dollars ! Close to 20 of them!

    

We went to “sand mountain” aka Cape Kiwanda one of the days to climb the huge sand mountain. It seems like it was a lot easier to do when I was younger…. it was tough!

This is us at the top. so pretty!   We also had some campfires on the beach, and made s'mores. yum!

Playing games at night

They fell asleep while watching the Olympics one morning

Awesome lunch at the beach!   Roasting Hot dogs, smores, and watermelon, yum!

Trying to catch M&Ms in their mouth :)

 

Playing on the beach!

Dinners at the beach always tastes better than at home!

 

I bought some mustache bandages, and used one on Hans’ foot when he got a little scrape :)

 

Cam gave me a ride on his back, haha!

Ancient tree forest, These aren’t rocks, they are tops of trees!

 

We caught a bunch of  hermit crabs, and Cam stuck them in his Shoes.

 

Last pictures at the beach!

Cam’s “Audix” AKA his money bag

My dad wearing his funny glasses…. haha

After the beach we made our way home. 3 long days of driving! With one stop to see the newest addition to the family, our New Cousin, Luke!

He was as cute as can be and I never wanted to stop holding him! It was so good to see and spend time with their little family! We have missed them!

Now we are back! It was a long trip, but very fun! We are happy to be back to our temporary home in Colorado, but ready to be in our own home. We plan to leave this week, its scary, exciting, and very stressful to be moving across the country. We can only hope that all goes well! :)
