For EmmaLee and Carter's birthday, they saved up their money and bought a waterproof, and shock proof camera to share! They had a blast taking pictures, on our spur of the moment trip to Portland!
This really was a last minute trip, we booked our hotels late Tuesday night and left early Thursday morning! The Langford's were able to get the time off too, it was crazy how everything worked out. After waking up at 3:30 AM for the drive, this was the first stop at an amazing play land at the Carl's Jr. in Boise. The kids actually did amazing in the car our whole time driving, it made the trip that much more enjoyable!
Some of these pictures are out of order, but this is the kids in the car, on our way to the coast.
If you've ever been to Portland, these roads will look very familiar. They basically look like this! It's very green and beautiful.
This is at Cannon Beach. It was cold and windy. But a sand castle was a must!

| This is Haystack rock behind us. If you've ever seen Goonies. |

Lunch at Mo's! The picture doesn't do the view justice, it's right by the beach.
 |
| At Tillamook! For Cheese and of course, Ice cream! |
The boys played a bunch of Disc Golf while in Portland. This is Hadley and Carter holding the frisbee's. Everything there, again, is so green

Try throwing your disc through all of these trees!! It made it a lot of fun!
We took a small trip to Vancouver Washington for the afternoon. We went to the Farmer's market and played on the playground there.
The kids in Vancouver, playing in the water. it was a really nice day.
The city of Portland, we played and rode the scooters while looking at the view!

One of EmmaLee's favorite part of any trip is the swimming pool at the hotel! She is getting to be a great swimmer!

This was a real star fish they pulled out and let us touch. We were there for low tide, and got to see a bunch of the wildlife that is under the ocean when it's pulled back.
 |
| These Star Fish are attached to the rock, later in the day, they were covered by the ocean. |
If you can't see him, this was Joel looking for one of his discs, I had to post it because of how green and beautiful it was!

| Neil picking up his disc he lost also! |

At the end of our fun adventure, we were able to stop at my brother's house in Boise! We had such a great time. Joe and Shannon were so nice to us, since we couldn't go camping, they made us a fire pit to roast hot dogs and smores! Yummy!
 |
| Doesn't get better than this! |
 |
| Cute Joe and Shannon! |
We had such a fun trip! For it being so last minute everything worked out so well! The kids even did great with the 1500 miles we drove! I wish we could do stuff like that more often.
