Oregon Fun!

This last week we got back home from our 10 day vacation to visit family in Oregon. It was a blast and we loved seeing our family that live there! Oregon is beautiful this time of the year and we were able to enjoy the beach and the gorgeous nature more than we usually do on our Christmas trips. The best part was spending time with family that we don't get to see very often and Aurora loved playing with her cousins! Here are a bunch a pics in no particular order.



Aurora loved the beach but was a little upset that we would let her play in the water with Seth and Jasmine. (It was a little too cold for Rora.)


Thinking with Daddy.


Luke was a little camera shy, he would rather be behind the camera like me.


Rora loves her cousin Melanie!



This is our beautiful new niece Valorie!


Rora and her cousin Mikayla playing chess. (Rora obviously thought she had won the game.)



Rora and Grandpa searching for pretty rocks at the beach.


Aurora loves Jasmine, and she loves giving Eskimo kisses.



Aurora and Mikayla became great friends.



Here she is loving the wind in her hair!



The men helped put in new windows in Heather and Drennan's new house.


Rora was not so sure about the ice cream at the Tillamook Factory, but she soon tried it after much persuasion.




I don't think Aurora was really ready to leave, good thing she loves airplane rides! We will miss everyone and can't wait to see them again!



Here is a little clip of one of the fun car rides we had, Rora loved having Jasmine and Seth in the back with her. And she loves rockin' out to The Beach Boys!
