Waterpark Fun

Oregon Day 10 - Part 3

Addie had so much fun during the short time we spent at the beach earlier in the day, so I wanted to make sure she got some more time to play in the sand.  As soon as we got to the campground the girls headed to the beach while the guys got the camper all set up.

After we picked Mom and Brent up from their dune buggy ride, we headed to the  

Sea Lion Caves (the largest sea caves in the world).  

The trail  down to the lookout where we could see the sea lions swimming.

Addie wasn't cooperating for a group picture.

Oregon Day 10 - Part 1

On Day 9 I took a break from the camera.  That day we hung out at the campground we finally found, went to the park, and did a little crabbing.

Day 10 was filled with several fun activities. The first stop was the sand dunes, where we dropped mom and Brent off to take a dune buggy ride.  I did this several years ago and was terrified, so the last few years I have passed on this activity.  While they were taking their ride, the rest of us headed to the ocean.  Addie was in heaven playing in the sand.  

Oregon Day 8

8.20

On the 8th day of our Oregon Vacation, we packed up all of our stuff in my Aunt and Uncle's RV and headed to the coast.  The plan was to drive and find campgrounds along the coast as we made our way back to the Portland Airport.  What we didn't anticipate was that all the campgrounds would be full. The first day we spent majority of the time trying to find somewhere to stay.  We ended up hanging out in a parking lot along the bay until it started to get dark and then we headed to the casino RV parking lot where we spent the night.  Wasn't exactly what we had planned on, but we still had fun.

Our home for the remainder of our trip

Oregon Days 5-7

8.17 - 8.19

I didn't really take many pictures of day 5 and 6.  Day 5 we visited a duck pond and then had a picnic lunch at a near by park.  On Day 6 we all hopped in the car and headed to the Eugene Airport to pick up Brent.

Day 7 - Crater Lake

 

I wanted to take a picture in the same spot we did 2 years ago, 

but Addie was not cooperating.

On our way out of the park we decided to stop and play in the snow.  It is not very often you get to play in the snow when it is 65 degrees outside.

Oregon Day 3 & 4

I wasn't able to keep up my posting like I had hoped on vacation due to the poor internet connection and the several days without internet:(

8.15 & 8.16

On Day 3 Ryan, Uncle Tom, Caulder and I left the house at 4:00 a.m. and headed to the coast to go fishing.  We ended up catching plenty of fish for dinner, but it took us a while.  I wasn't much help only catching 2.  I think this was the first time I have been out fished by my brother:(

Day 4 - Ryan left for the Airport early, so the girls packed a picnic lunch and headed to the park to play.

I didn't know there was sprinklers at the park, so I never thought to pack Addie's swim suit.  She was fine playing in her clothes until a couple of girls came and stripped down to their swim suit.  She wanted to do the same and started taking her clothes off.  I fought it for a few minutes, but then I gave in.  She ended up playing in her underwear.
