Randi and Payne

what a fun time

Addelyn roasting her first marshmallow

and now enjoying her first smore

headed to the beach for an amazing Pacific coast sunset

the Burals

the Galbreaths

the girls...i'm sure gonna miss them (and their husbands too!)

just gorgeous

SMORE TIME!!!

Mandy's loving them--and introduced us to using reese's peanut butter cups--super yummy!

our last morning...before packing up-i just think this picture is funny! :)

on our way home--we stopped in Portland and had lunch with the Drakes...so good to see them but so sad to say goodbye...Addelyn and Kallie-buddies

Kendall is having a baby boy in just a few weeks-so exciting!!!!!

the boys...

Multnomah falls on the way home-

here is Adde's "mad face"

"happy face" (can you tell it was a long trip? she started asking me to take pictures of her)

and here is cute Payne...

what a most fabulous trip with great people!!!

oregon coast - part 3 - Rockaway Beach

Saturday we headed to Rockaway beach for the day--it wasn't far from our campsite and just beautiful! Addelyn was super excited about going to the beach and swimming--she loves the water!

our last family picture at the Oregon coast for a while..sad!

the gang

Payne loved being passed around - he and Blake are buddies

Eric and Adde going to play beach soccer

Payne's first reaction to the sand...he LOVED it!

Adde does too

our group just hanging out at the beach

isn't it pretty?

i heart the oregon coast

this is a huge sand dune people were sliding down...i think it would have been a blast going down but NOT climbing up :)

Blake and Addelyn headed to the COLD water

she loved it!

Addelyn COULD NOT wait to go swimming...keep in mind it's only in the 60's...windy...and COLD water...but she didn't care-the only people not in wet suits were kiddos..ha!
