Our Vacation Part VI: Abrahamsen Beach Trip

My parents treated my siblings, me and our families to a 3-day beach trip. Our first day was spent playing at the beach, until the rain came and forced us back inside.My sister was such an angel during the whole trip. She offered numerous times to follow Gaven around, at the beach and also at the aquarium. It was a HUGE help! Thanks Colee!!
Both boys took turns burying and being buried.

Uncle Chris ran into a few problems in the evening when Gaven thought his walker was a jungle gym!!
On our second day, Grandma and Papa treated everyone to the Oregon Coast Aquarium. We had a great time!

I had to include a picture of Braeden with his map. He carried it around with him the whole time, showing us the way to the sharks.
This fish cracked me up! It was swimming around in a donut shaped tank with a bunch of other fish and when my niece went and stood by the tank, it stopped and stared at her for about a minute straight!!




Grandma and Papa and ALL their grand kids:
While we were in Newport, we went to a few candy shops and stopped down by the pier to see all the sea lions... I've never seen anything like it. The dock goes on about another 20 feet the other direction with more sea lions and then up another 25 feet full of sea lions!! The only downfall was that they were all sleeping once we got down there and weren't talking very much.
After we got back Wednesday night, we did a quick change and went down to the beach for some pictures.



Roo LOVES his Auntie Colee!!





Carsen was attached to Kyli the whole trip. He LOVED being with her. I was so happy I captured this picture of the two of them.
Even Uncle Chris got to fly a kite!!
We spent our last day at the beach at the outlets, then headed home. Our time together is never long enough, but we sure had fun!!
