Fishy Fun
While I was at the Oregon coast we all went to the Aquarium in Newport. I didn’t take any pictures of the fish but there were plenty there to see.

The Big Catch!
The men went out to catch some crab one morning and came back with one keeper. After lunch they went back out with my aunt and caught two more! There was so much crab meat from their big catch that we had crab one night for dinner and then we had crab omelets twice for breakfast. Yummy!

Time With Family!
Bryan and I were fortunate enough to visit my family in Oregon for a second time this summer. This time my other aunt and uncle were visiting and we all had such a great time together. We had lots of fun playing games, catching up, and catching crabs. I posted some family pictures below.

Rolling Cinnamon
On our last night in Oregon my cousin, Sydney, and I (mostly Sydney) made cinnamon rolls. I think we ended up staying awake until midnight waiting for the dough to rise so we could roll it out and shape the cinnamon rolls. We had lots of fun and our grandmother who is the best cook ever would be very proud.

Tidepool Exploration!
One afternoon we decided to drive south to the Cape Perpetua State park to explore the tide pools. The tide wasn’t low but we were able to see many interesting things. Everyone found a hole where the water would rush in the side and explode out the top. Somehow I talked Bryan into going next to the hole so I could take a picture of him in front of the exploding water. I felt very bad when his back got soaked. Then as we looked around more I didn’t dodge a wave fast enough and most of my whole right leg got soaked. Other than being wet for most of the time we had a fun time!

Happy 4th of July!
We happened to pick up a huge box of sparklers one night and lots of fun with them. I posted some of the unique pictures below.

Let’s go Fly a Kite
It has almost become a tradition that we fly kites every time we go to the beach. So, this time was no different. First Bryan helped Mariah put her kite together. Then, after they got Mariah’s in the air Bryan flew his super high. We had lots of fun!

Introducing George Alfred III
For the 4th of July Bryan and I went to the Oregon coast with my family. We were also fortunate enough to spend time with my uncle, aunt, and cousin while we were there.
On our first outing we caught many crabs but only had one large enough to keep. Since we didn’t want to bother cooking just one crab we threw it back. The second day we went out we were accompanied by my uncle and cousin. We ended up only catching one again, but this time we brought it back to eat. When the crab got home we christened it with the name, George Alfred III. I can’t remember how we came up with that name but it seemed pretty regal for a bottom feeder. We cooked poor George on the BBQ and everyone enjoyed him with dinner.

Happy New Year!
Bryan and I spent several days on the Oregon coast with my parents and niece for the New Year. It severely stormed the first few nights and days while we were there so we were confined to the house unless we wanted to be blown away. I think the winds got close to 60 MPH. On those days we enjoyed playing games and relaxing.
On Friday, the sun came out so we headed down to Florence Oregon, had lunch and walked around down town.
Saturday was my favorite day. We walked around Cape Perpetua. We walked around three coastal trails seeing many interesting things along the way. It was fun to explore and watch the waves crash into the rocks.
Unfortunately, our time in Oregon came to an end and we left early on Sunday morning only to return home to MORE SNOW!

Fun at the Beach!
I just realized that I didn’t post any pictures of us at the beach. So, below I added some extra pictures of our time in Oregon.
