Todd and I have started a family vacation tradition of going to Cannon Beach, Oregon each summer. We started going when Jaden was 20 months old, and we were hooked! The beach is so beautiful (especially with the big "rocks" as a backdrop), the town is quaint and the shops and restaurants are wonderful. The 1st year we took Jaden we camped, last year we stayed at a hotel, and this year we decided to camp again (we skipped the year that I was 7+ months pregnant with B). The campground is nice, it has decent restrooms/showers and tons of bunnies running/hopping around. It is also connected to a ranch with horses. We left Thursday afternoon and returned on Monday. Friday and Saturday were gorgeous and we had a torrential downpour of rain on Sunday! Our friends Keith and Laura joined us and Grandpa Albert and Nana drove down and stayed Friday night through Sunday.
Now I will share our plethora of pictures!
The boys on Thursday after we arrived (they were so happy to stretch their legs after the 4 hr. drive!).
Scootin' at the campground.

J helping daddy with the kite.
Later Friday afternoon the boys enjoyed feeding the bunny's (or as Bryson called them the "hop hops")
That evening we drove to Mo's for dinner and took some pic's in front of haystack rock.
The beautiful sunset that night.
Afterwards we had just enough time to feed some horses.
On Saturday we had some more fun at the beach.
Kite flying with Grandpa.
On our way to dinner on Saturday night (behind us is the horse pasture).
Grandpa, Jaden and Nana at dinner.
On Sunday it was a lot cooler and it started to rain around 11 (luckily Todd and Keith set up the tarps before it started to pour!).
B in the rain jacket that I bought J in Cannon Beach back in '05.
Playing in the mud puddles back at camp!
Our tent city!
J feeding some more "hop hops".
Which reminded me of the last time we camped at Cannon Beach (J 20 mo. old)!
The boys and I on Monday right before we left for home.
We definitely had a great time at Cannon Beach this year and can't wait to go back next year. One last thing I have to mention Bryson said his 1st sentence while we were there, "Where da (the) hop hops go?" Now we are off to the lake house for Labor Day weekend, praying for sun!
