Family beach time

Way back in September our family got away together for a long weekend at the Oregon coast.  Manzanita is the place Jeff and I spent part of our honeymoon and we’ve gone there as a family most every summer while the kids were growing up. So it really is our favorite beach town and holds LOTS of memories for us.

Lindsey couldn’t be with us (because she got a great job and moved to Montana – can you imagine that excuse?). Ray also had to work and we missed both of them terribly.  Why is it so hard to get everyone together at the same time???

Jeff’s mom came with us which made for a four-generation family time – so fun!

Check that sky!

It was Hadley’s first time in the ocean!

It was naptime when we headed down to the beach that day – what were we thinking? 
She did great for about 15 minutes, then it was just all too much.
