We love to go to the Oregon Coast! It's beautiful, not hot, and my kids get to play outside all day long. We went 2 years ago with my sister and her family and decided to go with her again. We rent a house together right on the beach. Love it!
The boys and I at Multnomah Falls.
We hiked to another waterfall (I don't remember the name) near Multnomah Falls. Collin thought it was fun the first half of the hike. But by the time we were headed back he wanted nothing to do with it!
In the picture below the trail goes behind the waterfall. I was a little afraid cause I felt like I was walking under a mountain that could fall on me at any moment.

A bridge near the same waterfall!

This is one Collin was done with the walking end of hiking! Poor Jesh had to luge around 40 extra pounds!
Cute Collin
These next picture are of different places and hikes went on. For some reason we decided to torture our kids with hikes. Christian did okay but Collin ended up being carried a lot.
The white spec is a whale.
I bribed Collin with salt water taffy to keep walking on one of the hikes. In this picture he got a cinnamon taffy that he did not like. He wanted me to take it from his mouth with my hand and not spit it out. I had nothing to clean it up my hand with, so I tricked him into spitting it out, which he did not like.
Collin fell asleep on the way back.
Tide pools
Rock throwing.
Aquarium
I told Christian to pose and this is what he came up with. Every picture after that he posed with his fist under his chin. I thought it was very comical.
Playing on our beach.
The boys (including Jesh) kept pretending to be Tron with that frisbee.
Some random beach on our way up the coast. It was sooooo windy. The sand felt like little bites all over my legs.
Tillamook. Note to all those planning a visit. Call first and make sure the factory workers are actually working that day. The kids didn't get to see the place in action.
I'm so bad.... I don't remember the names of any of these places! Some light house on the coast.
The giant fire pit Jesh and my nephew Brandon built!
Note the fist under chin!
Walking from our beach house to see the seals.
Playing and getting wet along the way.
100's of seals. Some of them were pretty torn up. I can't decide if its from ocean life or fights they get into with each other.
Walking home while the sun is setting.
Our attempt at a fire before the sun went down. We ended up having to go buy more lighter fluid. And then coming back out. We roasted marshmallows and had s'mores.
Looking a bit cold.
We were soooo sad to leave the coast. It was perfect. PS if there are grammatical errors or just plain errors in the above post, sorry! I don't proof read! HA!
