SEASIDE 2009

We just returned from our annual family vacation in Seaside, Oregon. We go every year with my family and all stay together in a house on the beach. This year was AWESOME! I mean AWESOME! We had the best weather ever! We had sunshine every day and for those of you who are familiar with the Oregon coast, that is spectacular. There were 6 grandkids together all under the age of 6 and it was just great. Talk about quality cousin time and here are the pictures to prove it all. :)



Talk about happy grandparents, look at those adorable kids!

Gracie LOVED the carosel! She giggled and waved her little heart out! (although those this picture doesn't exactly show that:)

Adam and Grant...joined at the hip for the entire time and that is NO exaggeration!






My Dad used to vacation here as a kid. They had 5 boys in their family and each boy had to pay one night of the hotel. He has carried on this tradtion with us and I have been to the Oregon Coast every year since I was 3 weeks old. We only missed one summer my entire life! :)


You can bet Grandma's framing this one!




Grace and Vincent just 6 months apart in age.

I think I only saw this guy eat about 2 mouthfuls of sand this year...big improvement from last year! :)




On our way home we stopped at the Portland Zoo. That was a great stop to break up the drive home. The kids loved it!
