Okay these pictures are in absolutely no particular order... The vacation was of course fun, but also really long and honestly I'm still doing laundry and cleaning up, so I'm not being particular in my order...


Austin eating his favorite food from Moe's a crayon! Rock on, why do we bother ordering him food when the crayon is free?
Brandon stuffing his face with yes a triple scoop of Tillimook Ice Cream... yummy!
















Nana and Gavin at Cape Mears State Park...
Ah the ever enchanting looks that Gavin gives us when we ask him to smile.

nice view of some rocks.... At Cape Mears


See the mommy telling her kid "its okay go ahead and touch it". Ironic really you spend all day at the aquarium yelling don't touch and then they have a "petting" area? Go figure...

If you can't tell we tried to do too many things...

Here were on a train ride in Astoria, the kids just hung out on the outside and said hi to everyone...

Oh no! Just kidding, were at a historical site over in Washington, I currently can't remember the name so I can't tell you...

Ha ha very funny! That's right we were at our favorite State Park Cape Lookout and of course there would be a Tsunami warning in effect... What's the chances? We didn't have to leave but we were restricted from the beach area the rest of the evening...

Ah a wagon ride... The boys were less than cooperative.

Just a picture of the scenery.

So much drama so little time! Gavin was pitching a fit over the dump truck and shovels.

Gavin's most cooperative picture moments

Not so much here... Its called run and hide from mommy, dad, and Nana. In the museum no less!

Astoria's Maritime Museum... Need a life boat anyone?

I felt like by the end of the trip I almost wouldn't have minded being stranded in a life boat in the ocean. See we made it almost home.... Almost being the key word. Just past the Hole'n the rock rest stop area the truck blew a hose that goes into the Turbo in return we had no power. I'll just say that the clap and hose were both bad. We tried several times to get it to work. Each time only going a few miles before it blew again. We actually should have been home at about noon on Sunday instead.... around 5 pm. We didn't have cell service where we were so it made it difficult. We were finally able to get a hold of some people to help us. So thanks everyone who came to our rescue! It's funny because I came back thinking oh its just fine I'll go get my parents truck because they are out of town. Well the batteries are bad in it and it wouldn't charge let alone start. Then to top it off I rode the Polaris home with the boys on the back and looking out side right now it has a flat... I think I should just stay away from mechanical devices right now..... If you'd like to see more pictures I'll be uploading them to facebook!
