The Coast

In August we went to Oregon to visit Phil's family. All of the brothers and their families were able to come, so it was a great family reunion. First, we spent a few days on the coast Yachats, OR, which was beautiful.

This is the view from the back of the house Clem and Rita rented. It was a great location and a great house. It was so great to able to sit out on the deck and just listen to the sound of the ocean hitting the rocks. I didn't know I missed the ocean. It is such a soothing place to be.

We also had a great time exploring the beach just down the road and playing with cousins. It was also so fun to see Felix bond with his cousins and his grandpa and grandma. He loved and we loved it. 

The sunsets were STUNNING!

(it was a pretty cool day, but nothing was stopping Whitney and Annie from taking a dip!)

(I just LOVE this picture. Felix loves his grandpa and its so awesome to see them bond!) 

Rita was able to get free tickets for the whole family to the aquarium just up the coast, so we took a morning to explore. Felix loved the starfish. He touched them a few times and even tried to pick one up! He sat and watched the sea lions swimming for a good 15 minutes which was really fun. 

We loved being on the Coast. I loved the weather, even the rainy days were so nice. Thank you Clem and Rita for giving us some great memories!
