Finally, a warm lake weekend!

Crazy kids swimming, the air was warm but the water was cold.

No wind all weekend, just a pleasant evening breeze and mid 80's.

Perfect for boating all day.

Sand bank fun

Couching with Daddy

First wake boarding of the year

Fourth of July

I heart America, but I heart these kiddos even more.

Almost!

Little show stopper

Almost firework time!

Cate fell asleep half way through the fireworks, she wasn't that impressed. The rest of us thought they were awesome.

Oregon Coast 2016

Awesome family vacation! The VRBO was a little old so when we arrived that was a little disappointing but then we headed to the beach and that cheered us right up. Love the Oregon coast! It could of been a little warmer while we were there but it is the Pacific Northwest and that didn't stop the kids from getting the water. We'd do it all over again in a heart beat, and the company was perfect! Love our cousins :)

On our way Mt Hood

Multnomah Falls in Oregon

Lincoln City, we made it! After 8+ hours in the car the kids were so happy we had to go frolic on the beach!

That water was cold! Good thing we have a hot tub to warm up in.

Mustache time!

The sand is so soft and warm, except when the wind makes it pelt your legs, lol!

Can't go to the beach without burying EVERY single kid in the sand. It was a lot of work.

Abi all sandy from being buried.
