Oregon Coast


We had a great time at the ocean this last weekend. We went with Derek's parents and we all had a lot of fun. The kids loved the ocean and being with their grandparents. They did not like the long drive, but Mason was a champ and rarely complained. Reese was pretty much the worst, but we love her anyway and will forgive her for not liking being strapped in the car. Friday night we stayed in Vancouver then Saturday morning we drove the rest of the way to the ocean. They actually did really well on the way down. We were only there for 24 hours but we were able to go the beach twice. I'm not sure if we will make that drive again, at least for a while. We were in the car for 8 hours on the way home (normally about a 5 1/2 hour drive but tons of traffic). At one point I started bawling thinking we were never going to make it. When we finally made it home we all crashed and were thankful for our own beds! Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Bingham for a great weekend!


Mason loved for the waves to chase him!


Reese kept busy at the beach by running away from me and eating sand.


Sunday morning we woke up and walked down to the beach again. Mason immediately got his shorts wet and had to take them off (he hates being wet). So we let him run around in his underwear.

Driving with kids is such a chore. It looks like you had fun. Hopefully when you look back on it you will only remember the coast and not the drive.
