Oregon Day 3

My dad and Steve went crabbing together on day three of our trip while my mom and I hung out at the condo with the kids and played on the beach. I have to say this was one of my favorite days. Being on the beach is what I came to Oregon for. We went and bought some sand toys and a kite for our beach day. I learned that a two year old will only hold onto a kite for about two seconds and then quickly get bored.:) Lucas was pretty funny with the ocean water. It took him a while to warm up to it. He wasn't too sure about how it would go out and then sneak up on him. He loved playing in the sand though:)
Later on that day we went to Newport and trip crabbing off the pier. It was really windy and I quickly realized that crabbing, as fun as it is, is not the best activity to do with young children. Later on we went back and cooked up some crab and ribs and had a feast!
I also forgot to mention that we went to Newport after shopping and walked around their little shops and saw the sea lions. Lucas thought the sea lions were pretty neat and liked when they made their barking noises.

Oregon Day 2

On day numero two of our vacay my mom, Taylor, Steve and I went sssshhhoping! They have huge outlet mall there so how could we not go? My dad, being the brave soul he is, offered to hang out with Lucas at the condo while we went. Giddy up kik ko my my....sorry I was just a little excited to not go shopping with my two year old. I love that kid to pieces but I knew we would be there for a while and he would not love it. While we were there my dad calls my mom and says " Lucas is telling me he is poopy, what do I do??!!?!?" My mom laughed and told him to change him! Now if any of you know my dad you just gasped and have your hand over your mouth b/c seriously, my dad change a diaper,a poopy one at that, not gonna happen! Needless to say he bucked up and did it! I' am going to write that one down in Lucas's journal b/c there are very few grandkids that can prouldy say, " My grandpa changed my diaper."
Later on we hung out on the beach and went out to eat at Mo's, which was only a couple blocks away. Good day, good day.:)

Oregon Day 1

On our first day in Oregon we went to the Tillamook cheese factory and the air museum. The ice cream was so delicious and the air museum was a lot of fun. Lucas loved looking at all the planes and helicopters. The last time I came to Oregon was when I had just turned 16 and was with my mom and dad. It is fun going to these places again now with kids of my own. We also stopped at a waterfall along the way. Our kids did so good traveling all the way there. We all rode in Steve's truck so it was a little cramped but we made it!
We stayed at a condo in Lincoln city that had a bay view. I loved being so close to the ocean.
