We decided to play
And we had a ton of fun. We loaded up Sunday morning and after Rob got off work we drove down to Astoria, Oregon and stayed for two nights. It was so much fun, and we saw the most beautiful sights. Canon Beach, Seaside, the Astoria Bridge and Astoria Column the monument that memorializes the end of Lewis and Clark's great adventure. 
We visited a small aquarium and got to feed the seal. We ate at a Pig 'n Pancake for breaky and filled our tummys way too full. And we made a TON of memories. And our kids were extremely good, and mostly a joy to be around.
We visited several World War I-II forts. And played on at least 3 beaches. We went and visited a gorgeous light house and saw 15 foot waves. And om I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff.
Rainee's favorite? Eating her first sand! She thought that was the most awesome stuff!
I'm still cleaning it out of and off of her!
Kids of course camping get dirty....
The kids explored and explored and never got tired ROFL we were the ones who were about ready to die of exhaustion!!! We want to go back to the Koa again. And next time we will bring our bikes. There were bike trails everywhere. And flat ones too
I did the packing and I wasn't too sure how to use the bike rack so we left them behind, and man did we miss them! But I doubt we could of crammed any more into that week anyhow.
I have tons of pictures...and will post them over the next couple days as I don't want to inundate you
But have to close with this one of goofy HD

I'm so jealous! LOL And we were just there barely 2 months ago with the in-laws! We went to Astoria and poor dh got to carry rachel up AND down the column--he got his excerise for the day.
And I see you all in warm coats--now I'm really jealous. LOL It's still hot here... My kids looked about the same too, but it was the dog trying to eat weird things while we were there. lol
I'm so glad that you got away. Sounds like a wonderful time.
You are such a good mommy--you have a full plate just taking care of everybody at home, and still you pack up and take them camping! I am so impressed with your energy and joy of living. Your children each look so happy and confident. I can just hear Jesus laughing watching you all play!!
