Beach Trip

I am so sad to say our week long beach trip has officially ended. It's Monday and I am back at work plugging along. How depressing...

We had such a great time at Devils Lake in Lincoln City with all our family. It was relaxing for the most part and a lot of fun. I didn't get to do a lot of what I wanted to do, such as the Aquarium, Devil's Punch Bowl, Otter Rock, etc....but Brian and I will do that in August before summer ends.

We spent a lot of our time just hanging out at the lake house and enjoyed watching the guys tube in the boat and watch Brian play. We spent some time at the beach as well and drove to Newport a few times. It was a pretty uneventful week, but very enjoyable.

In the week we were gone I swear he's grown like 2 feet...(yes over exaggeration), and he has probably tripled his vocabulary. He is speaking so well from hanging out with all the older kids, it's amazing how much they pick up. He is starting to talk in complete sentences and he is picking things up so quickly.

We adults spent most of our nights playing Uno, Skip-Bo or dice. It wouldn't be a family vacation if these games weren't involved. They get pretty nasty and very competitive. None of us want to end up losers!!!

We got home on Friday and settled in and tried to calm down. Brian and I are still not on our schedule of 9pm bed time and 6am wake-up time. That's a challenge right now for the both of us.

I can't wait for next years trip....I'll post pictures soon.
