What better place to go when daddy is away than....Astoria! Our trip proved to be a great distraction from the constant thought of missing daddy and Anna! We enjoyed visiting with many cousins, aunties, uncles, grandpas, and grandma. It started out with rain and cool wind, we even experienced a storm, but eventually we got warmth and sunshine.......a great recipe for trips to the beach, the Astor Column, battery Russel, the jetty, and Seaside! We kept busy and enjoyed our time immensely! Here are a few photos for you all to enjoy..........
Who knew you could fit 8 kids into a bathtub at once!?
ReplyDeleteSam, you look great on your stallion! ;)

It certainly was a refreshing break!! we had a blast:) I think tha Zeke has grown a lot since my dad and Anna-Renee have been gone. I love that picture of him to. we have several more like that but my mom could not fit them on.:)

Love the pics.It was fun in Astoria. ~Samuel Houston
ReplyDeleteso neat! glad you are back though :) i missed you all!
ReplyDeleteI got to drive through it on the way home from Lincoln city. It was very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI must say though, nothing I have seen compares to the drive between Lincoln city and Tillamook...
THAT was gorgeous!
I also like the picture where Abby is standing in the window grinning, and are you two exchanging candy canes in that one?
I would say that the Oregon coast is amazingly beautiful! Naomi and Abby were giving tastes of their candy sticks from the candyman store in Seaside.....yes, they play the song, "candyman" over and over! :-)
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you all had a wonderful time in Oregon. I bet it was fun to ride on the carousel. Did all of you ride on the carousel or was it just Julia, Lydia, and Samuel? The picture of Naomi and Abby is touching and sweet(lol). I agree also that the last of picture of Zeke is really nice. He looks so happy. Happy that you all are back.
ReplyDeleteall of us rode on the carousel even Zeke!! He loved it.:) he kept looking at the bright lights and then leaning back and giving me a huge grin.IT was SOOOOO sweet.
