Happy 94th Birthday Grandma Elizabeth!

Chris' grandma turned 94 today! It was great to celebrate with family.

Oregon Coast

The kiddos have been missing the beach so we decided to try out Cannon Beach and Seaside Beach for our summer vacation this year. We had a great time on the road trip and we loved the Oregon Coast. Cannon Beach was beautiful and Ecola State Park was even more amazing. We saw the best views at sunset and a herd of elk...much to the kids delight. Seaside was fun and reminded us of the beaches on the east coast. We discovered a little bit of family history on the Cox side. It turns out Chris' great-grandma lived there and was one 4 people in the first graduating class.
Ben learned a new word "beach." We thought it was very appropriate considering he was born in Hawaii. He loved it and just ran, and ran, and ran and even got a little tan. Not easy for a red head!

Fun at Camp

The girls have enjoyed some fun camps the last few weeks. This week they were at a camp at the Children's Museum in Olympia. It was a camp about Flight. They made wings, a catapult, paper airplanes, and toured a real helicopter. They had a great time and learned so much! We also toured the Capital grounds since they were right next door. Olympia is really beautiful the 10 days of the year that the sun shines...and it decided to shine today!

Summer fun in the sun...finally

Ok, summer has been on hold here in Olympia. It finally made its debut and I hope it stays but... Well, we still enjoyed our awesome weather the last few days!

Happy 4th of July 2010~

We were lucky enough to celebrate the 4th in sunny eastern Washington. We loved seeing both sets of grandparents and spending some time with the cousins.
