A New Coast

After a week away with my party of 5 I am easing myself back into the daily grind.  We had a great trip up north to explore the Oregon Coast.  Such a gorgeous place full of lush forests and miles of sandy beaches. The little's couldn't get enough of the ice cold waves but we spent our evenings in a sweet yellow cozy beach house that warmed up their frozen fingers.  As is the case with most summer family vacations it's never long enough.  At least I have the hundreds of photos I took to browse through and re-live some of my favorite pieces of the trip.  I'm still picking through them to select which ones to share, here is the first round with more to come!

Lake Francis Camping

Just a few of my favorite photos from the camping trip last weekend. Day one we had a few sprinkles but that didn't stop E and I from exploring. Campfires, smores, paddle boat rides, hand crafted bow's, a night time nature walk, and best of all down time with friends and family.  I only wish it lasted longer.

Disneyland Instagram

We got home late last night/early this morning. What an amazing time. Disneyland is even more magical when seeing it through the eyes of your child. We celebrated his 5th birthday on Friday, well really the whole trip was one big celebration. I'm not going to lie, 5 days in Disneyland kicked my butt. I'm taking today to recover and upload the 1,000 photos I took. Don't worry I won't post them all. ;)

I've joined the instagram bandwagon and I am loving it. Here are my instagrams from the trip.

I seriously need a pedicure now.

Disneyland here we come!

Miss me? I've been MIA with much on my plate this week and will continue to be so as we leave tomorrow morning for E's first trip to see Mickey!  It'll be a birthday to remember for my sweet lil man. I look forward to sharing photo's and stories when we get back.
I'm over packed and ready to go!
Have a great week!
