Spring Break 2014

This year for Spring Break we went to Seaside, Oregon. We stayed at Fort Stevens State Park in a yurt. We stayed in one a few years ago. We were there for Easter weekend. The kids Spring breaks were a week apart. So Miley, Belle and Lydia had spring Break the first full week of April off. Then they both had a week of school and then Gabby had her Spring Break. So we took the other kids out of school on Wednesday during her Break because she is now in High School.  We headed south towards Oregon and got there in a little over 3 hours. We put all our stuff in our yurt and headed to the beach by the ship. We explored the ship and played on the beach. We then went to Costco for dinner and then back to our Yurt for a Movie and sleep!

 

We woke up and decided to go into Seaside to walk down the and look at all the shops. We stopped by one shop that had over 100 different flavors of Salt Water Taffy. We all picked some out. It was hard to decide. They were super Yummy. We went into the indoor shops and the kids rode the carousel. Bray Bray loved it! We then stopped by the hat store where we had tons of fun trying on hats. I even bought one that I totally love. We then did some more shopping and ended up on the beach. Where the kids swung on the swings and played in the sand.

We then went to lunch at this restaurant that had the

most delicious French Fries!

Lilly's Frozen Birtday!

We had a Frozen Party. Gabby Drew a picture of Olaf and we played pin the carrot on Olaf. We decided to have only Cousins come her party this year. With just cousins we had 15 kids. They made Olaf from Marshmallows and Pretzels. They watched the movie. Played pin the nose on Olaf from a Poster that Gabby drew by hand. She is so talented. Todd's family happened to be visiting that week. So we even had them here as well. It was so much fun.

New Puppy

My husband after losing Shasta decided that we needed a new puppy. He found one on Craigslist and the kids all voted and decided they wanted a puppy for Christmas. So we drove all the way to Portland to pick up our puppy. She is so cute!  The kids voted on the name Lilly!!
So we now have a Boo, Lolly and a Lilly.  Lilly is also our #5 girls blog name on the Blog the dog will be called Lilly dog.

The girls on the ride home you can just see Lilly dog.

 

Kyle and our new Puppy!
