Blinking light of the Yaquina Head Lighthouse, Newport
This is where Ian spent a majority of our vacation---and one reason why there are so few pictures of him!
Depoe Bay
N playing "house" on the driftwood!(He made us mac n' cheese)
Daddy is tired out!!

N inspecting a tiny crab
B making tracks in the sand for us to follow!
Daddy explaining the details of the tiny crab!
Saying "good-bye" to the sea!Overall, our trip exceeded all our expectations, mostly because we were determined not to have any!! The boys really were great! They loved staying in hotels, and though we only had one nap the whole trip, they stayed pretty even-keeled and obedient! We didn't spend much money---only going out to eat 2 times (well, three if you count Taco Bell for $3.50!) and didn't buy even one souvenier---isn't that terrible??!!
Other wonderful things we did that aren't pictured:
Toured Tillamook Cheese Factory
Drove every scenic route we could find
Collected "egg" shaped rocks for N to play with at home in the treehouse
Had snacks and listened to Winnie-the-Pooh read aloud in the car
Made Ian laugh for the first time!
Had very fun conversations about all kinds of things---
like how God answered our prayers:
keeping us safe
building our ties as a family
making memories
Loving us and displaying his GLORY in the works of His hands!!
