Summer Highlights - Beach Pictures Included :)

I FOUND MY CAMERA BURIED IN THE GARAGE!! :)

Here is Miss M and her beautifully windblown curls at the beach in Seaside, Oregon this summer. She had a blast going camping and frequently asks if we can go again. We camped at a KOA campsite, which was a 20 minute drive away from the beach, but do not be deceived by the word camping... While we did sleep in tents and roast marshmallows over the fire, our campsite had heated bathrooms nearby with private showers, an indoor swimming pool, miniature golf, a jumping pillow, free wireless Internet access, and electricity at the campsite.


These pictures mark the beginning of probably the worst sunburn I've ever seen in my life. Patrick's back and shoulders were blistered and stayed pink for over a month. Being the "I told you so" wife that I am, I will say that I told him more than once to wear sunscreen. :) He did have a lot of fun in the sand before the burn though!!

"I DON'T BELIEVE IN SUNSCREEN!"

Our friends Ryan and Char on the beach - Aren't they super cute?! :) We are so blessed to have such great friends (they even helped us paint in our house and I do not know what we would do without them - we live right down the street from each other now!!). Char and I were just called to teach Sunbeams together at church and we are also visiting teaching companions.

...because sometimes it's fun to bury your husband alive... :)

Seriously though, we had a great time at the beach and next time, Patrick promises to wear his sunscreen! :)

Besides moving into a new house and going to the beach, this past summer we enjoyed celebrating Mckenna's 3rd birthday, going to other birthday parties, park and zoo trips. Friends, family and I obsessed over reading Stephenie Meyer books and I also did some much needed relaxing.
