We're back!

We've been really busy lately! And I'm happy to say that it's a good busy. For Spring break we went over to the Oregon coast for a few days and then came back for a day...and then my Mom, Dad, and my older sister with her two girls came up to visit us. It's been a fun filled two weeks.
I have tons of pictures and it would take forever to share all of them. I think for today that I'll just share some from our trip to the coast.


OREGON COAST
Growing up Joe's family always went to the Oregon coast for Spring break so Joe wanted to take us there.


On the way to the coast we had to go through Portland so we went to the temple and walked around the gounds. Travis loved the water! We had to keep a very close eye on him so he didn't jump in.


During the low tide we walked down to the ocean and saw some pretty cool things. Travis was fine with touching things until he saw them moving.

Joe thought it was a good idea to take Travis up on the rocks...I didn't!


This was the first time Travis saw the ocean. He walked up the water and became very nervous when it started coming in around him. After that he just liked to stand on the rocks and watch.


We went down the the Aquarium and got to walk through a under water tube thing. Travis thought the sharks were neat.



I think that his favorite thing was the star fish tank. He wouldn't touch them but he screamed when we wanted to move on to something else.


I loved walking on the sand because Travis couldn't run as fast as normal so it was way easy to watch him...for once.

This was the view from our room! I loved waking up and seeing the ocean and listening to it too. Travis would wake up every morning and ask to go swimming.
On the way him we went through Tillamook!!! We went through the cheese factory and got some ice cream too! Even though Tyler couldn't have some he still had a good time! It was really nice to finally have a real vacation! I highly recommend it

Oregon looks beautiful. Jon and I have never been there. We hope to someday on a vacation. Your boys look so big! I can't believe how fast they grow in such a short time. Whenever we go to Oregon, we'll have to ask for advice on where to go and things to do from you guys!
