Our week at the Coast

We spent a great week in July on the Oregon Coast with Wayne and Lori.  We rented a house and it was nice and relaxing!
On our first night we went to dinner at Mo's.
 The next morning we got up and went down to the beach.  It's a little chilly on the coast so Travis got bundled up :)
 Lucas loves, loves, loves the water!
 He thought it was great fun to watch the waves roll in.
 Looking at the starfish on the rocks.


 Chillaxing on the rocks.
 Lucas found a piece of seaweed and used it as a mustache.
 Exploring with Nana Lori.
 Lexie loved playing in the water and sand.



 Nana Lori helped her dig and build a big mound of sand.

 After a fun day at the beach we walked back to the house which was just a block away.
 
 The next morning we got up and drove to see some tide pools.
 Exploring with Daddy.



Travis took a bunch of pictures.
 


 Lexie loved jumping over the pools!
 
 


 
 

 Papa couldn't make it down to the tide pools so Lexie brought her treasures up to show him.  She and Nana collected a bunch of shells to make a necklace.
 One of the shells still had a little crab in it!


 
 Next, we went to Newport to the aquarium.  Lexie climbed a rock and pretended to be a seal.
 Starfish Lucas and Eel Lexie.
 Watching the sea lions swim.

 Goofball!


 Watching the sharks swim overhead.





Lexie had to pose on each statue before leaving the aquarium!
 The next day it warmed up and was beautiful so we went back down to the beach. 
 The kids had a great time playing in the water!




 Travis and Wayne watched from the beach.


 



 They played and played and played and had a great time!
 That night we decided to make a fire on the beach.  Travis drove the car down and we thought he was stuck but he managed to get out of the sand!
 It was super windy so we dug a hole for the fire.
 They got the wood all situated and got the fire lit but it blew out.
 Meanwhile the kids played with their water toys.
 
 
 Finally, they got it lit!

 It was a beautiful night and we had a beautiful sunset.
 Nana brought some bubbles.

 The kids decided to dig a hole.

 Blowing bubbles.

 We had s'mores, sat around the fire and then went back to the house to warm up!
 Lexie taught Nana her dance routine and they did a performance for us.  They were great!

Goofballs wrestling.
 On our last day we drove up the coast and ventured off to see a light house.  It was a beautiful day!

We really enjoyed our week on the coast!!
