Outside Adventures!

We had such a great day outdoors today! Oregon is sooooo green and beautiful full of sunshine (well, today) and nature. We headed mid-morning to a nice long walk where we saw 2 deer and played on the sand dunes. Then we headed to Tillamook to grab some lunch and eat in a park the kids always like to play at. After lunch, we went on a hike and saw a beautiful waterfall, it was gorgeous!

After that we headed to a Cape Meares, where there is a lighthouse. The lighthouse was closed but we were able to walk down and still see the ocean and all the birds. We also saw the Octopus Tree, a really cook sitka tree that grew 6 limbs and has a huge base of 50 feet. It was pretty awesome!

Then we drove home and had dinner and now we are playing games! We also watched one of my favorite movies on the way home, Andre! I love that movie no matter how many times my siblings have made fun of me, its a great movie:)

Unfortunately, we leave tomorrow, so i will be packing tonight:(

Off to eat some yummy ice cream!

Outlet Shopping:)

hey, today we went to the outlet stores for some good 'ol shopping. while my mom and i were in old navy, suddenly 2 cops ran past us and out the door. my mom followed them to make sure our other sister, who was in another store, was alright. we are not sure what happened b/c the cops were in the fitting room, maybe looking at the security cameras. maybe the robber had already left and they were checking his description....we don't know but there was sure something sneaky going on! of course, the girls went into claires and spent a loooooong time deciding what junk, i mean cool stuff, you can buy from the 10 for 10 dollars rack. we came home with shoelaces, rainbow colored hair and jewelry:)

afterwards, we grabbed some lunch and headed home and the girls played outside in the river. they had on their rubber boots and were pretending to cast their fishing poles in the river. it was so cute, but i forgot to take a picture.

we then just relaxed inside, playing games, taking a nap, reading and just chilling. in a bit, we are going to have dinner. hopefully, we can maybe take a walk later since the weather should be nice. have a great day, thanks for stopping by.
