Father’s Day Weekend!

Ammon had one request this year for Father’s Day…”Let’s go to the coast.”  So I got on-line and booked a great deal in Newport. We had Ammon open his Father’s Day gifts before leaving…the kids were so excited to give Daddy the gift they picked out all by themselves!  but headed off early on Saturday morning!

 

We ended up at the Shilo Inn in Newport.  Grandpa Larry, Grandma Peggy, Aunt Laura, Uncle Adam, Garrett and Micah met us there. The kids were thrilled to get to do so many fun things over the two days we were at the beach!

Swimming in the hotel pool was a highlight for Daddy and the kids! The kids were thrilled that Daddy could use the snorkel and flippers that they got him for Father’s Day.

The beach weather was perfect all day on Saturday! We spent the majority of the afternoon outside playing in the sand, searching for sea shells, starfish and other fun “treasures.”

  A great picture of the Fathers with their kids!

   

This little game of throwing the kids into the air is NOT going to last too much longer. Ammon was saying how heavy the kids are getting.  I’m glad I captured it this year on camera.

Sunday a typical day on the Oregon coast…lots of rain. We felt blessed to have had a perfect day to play on the beach so we were happy to head to the Oregon Coast Aquarium! Lots to see and most of the exhibits are indoors.
