This past week when I went to transfer our pictures from our card to the computer. It had the first day of school pictures and most of our summer on it. But for some reason it is saying the card is not formatted. Bummer! We don't know why, because we've been using it for years. So while we're trying to recover all of those pictures, I thought I'd practice this blog thing with some of our old ones! This past summer we headed to Oregon for a fun family getaway. We went to the northern coast and had fun playing on the beach (we loved Cannon Beach) looking at the tidepools at Haystack Rock. . .
. . . .and enjoying the sunsets. We had fun roasting smores on the beach one night and telling scary stories. The water was pretty cold, but we found some pretty cool creatures and shells. We had to visit the Tillamook cheese factory (and sample the ice cream, of course)!
We also loved the town of Astoria. So many cool houses and history. There was some fun museums there, and we loved the trolley ride. Kate and Emmy even got to "drive" the trolley! All in all, it was a pretty fun trip. (But what a long drive!) Kate told us after the trip that it was so much fun that when she grows up she wants to be an Oregoner!!

How fun! It's funny, we were supposed to explore the Oregon coast last summer too, but the first part of our trip wore us out, so we just went straight home. And there was the issue of the digestive problems the kids and James developed after swimming on a beach in San Francisco. We didn't see the "Dangerous levels of bacteria" sign till we were leaving. Oops!
What a fun vacation site. I bet it was beautiful. Ryan biked the Oregon coast last summer, and he couldn't stop talking about how pretty it is there. He wants to be a Oregoner too.
Looks like fun! Courtney looks like cute dad to all those girls!
