This year was Casey's turn to plan his family reunion. I found a house on Rockaway Beach in Oregon to rent. It was a lot of fun. This was the first time I have been on the Oregon Coast, it is really pretty there. I like it because it feels like you are in the mountains, but then you have the ocean by you too. I think I could live there during the summer months when there is little rain.
This was the house we rented.
This was what the ocean looked like when you got through the trees from the house.

Casey had fun playing in the sand
Cannon beach was so pretty
These are the rocks that are in Goonies, it was filmed here!
We went to seaside and found this little carousel ride there. I had to laugh because Aiden was too afraid to go on a horse, he ended up riding on the sled in front of this horse.
We went to the aquarium in Seaside. They had seals there and the kids got to feed them. They were so cute, I really wish you could have one for a pet.
We went to the Tillamook cheese factory, the kids had fun there.
I had to laugh, in Tillamook they get so much rain they have to bag up their hay, so it looks like marshmallows.
The last day we were in Oregon was the nicest. The wind didn't blow, so the kids played on the beach all day. We made a campfire and roasted hot dogs and made smores. I loved it.
Chase was in heaven, he had us bring him over to these rocks because he knew he could find all kinds of creatures there.
He found a baby eel
and lots of crabs!
On the way home we stopped at Multnomah Falls, it was pretty, but there were too many people there. I liked the beach we stayed at because there weren't very many people there.
