Splash Pad

The day before 4th of july was not very hot, but it was sunny and I decided to take the kids to a splash pad that I heard about. They had fun running around, but since it wasn't very warm they didn't play for very long, but there was also a really neat new park to explore so we were there for a long time.

Beach...Again!

Over Memorial Weekend (I know I'm behind on my posts, but that's what happens when when you don't have internet at home) a lot of Caleb's family got together at a beach house for the weekend. It was great to see everyone, but Caleb missed it by two days so it was sad he couldn't come.
We had a fire on the beach at sunset. These rock featers are famous because they were in the movie Goonies.

Megan didn't like the water too much, probably because it was freezing, but she had fun playing in the sand and chasing the kite, and eventhough she didn't swim she had to wear the swim suit like Alyssa.

Here is Alyssa covering a rock with mud, very exciting. She did eventually cover the whole thing.

It was cloudy and rainy pretty much the whole time we were there, but it didn't stop our fun. I didn't think Alyssa would want to swim because it was so cold, but she ended up getting in with her clothes on (blue shirt) as well as her cousin Julia (yellow shirt). Anna and her friend Rio were smart enough to wear their bathing suits.

Me and megan stayed dry on the beach.

Beach Day!

We realized the girls have never been to the beach and since the beach is only an hour away, we decided to do another trip to the beach. Caleb's mom and sister Anna came too and we had a great time. The water is very cold and the beaches are very rocky (which I found out because I didn't wear shoes) but they had fun anyway.

I love the big rock featers of Oregons coast.

We half burried Anna in the sand.

Alyssa finally got cold and grouchy.

After the beach we went to Seaside (a near by town) we walked around in the little shops and did the merry go round.

Bumper cars, Alyssa was just barely tall enough to go by herself, Megan was rather upset she couldn't go to.

Then there was a very exciting game of air hockey (I think it took over ten minutes).

Megans Birthday

Megan loves Blues Clues so I decided to try and make her cake like blue, and eventhough I could point out like ten things wrong with the cake Megan liked it and knew who it was so that is all that matters.
Alyssa was our entertainment and she did some wicked awsome breakdancing moves.

It took several tries to blow out the candles.

Alyssa hovered in the background wantind Megan to open her presents faster.

Megan loves little toys and Caleb's parents bought her some littlest pet shops and she was excited.

My parents got her a three wheeled scooter and Alyssa thinks it is hers and she rides it through the house and want to take it to the store whenever we go.

Megan likes the scooter too.

Coast

Caleb's parents watched the kids so that we could go to the coast together, it was very relaxing and great to be together again. We just watched movies, went in the shops, and walked on the beach. The Oregon Coast is great because it has these amaizing rock featurs to add to the scenery.

We found a bunny in the parking lot by the beach, I thought it was out of place.

Caleb lost a lot of weight at boot camp.

Here is the sunset form out hotel room.

Swimming

Daddy's home!! Alyssa told everyone that her daddy was going to take her swimming when he got home so that is just what he did. They were very excited to see him, Alyssa definatly remembered him, but Megan was excited because Alyssa was excited.

Megan loved going down the big red slide, I thought she would be too scared because it is big for her.

Children's museum

The first friday of every month is free at the Childrens museum and we go pretty much every month. Since I'm usually by myself I don't take many pictures but I took some last time I was there.

Megans' favorite room is the water room but Alyssa doesn't like it was much so we dont' stay as long because Alyssa complains louder than Megan.
