Redwood Forest/ Oregon Coast/ Seattle

 
From April 11th to April 19th
we were able to take an amazing family vacation. 
 I am very grateful for the memories we made. 
 
 Here are some pictures in no particular order....
 
Top of the Seattle Space Needle. 
It was very cold, wet and rainy
 
 
Family photo at Chandelier Drive-Thru tree.

Near sunset at Harris State Beach. 
Just a short little walk from our campsite.
 Breathtaking

 
The kids in front of one of the huge fallen tree trunks. 
 Near the Chandelier Drive-Thru


One of my new favorite pictures.
Redwood Forest
I love hanging out at the beach.
  I also love watching my kids explore and play at the beach.
  They loved every minute of it.

This was one of the campsites we got to stay at. 
 It was so green and lush and gorgeous.

A little blurry but a curious girl like Afton
was in heaven at the Seattle Aquarium.




Cute Afton.
Harris State Beach

This was one of our first mornings. 
Afton and Lilly heading out to see what awaits them for the day.
 I like it because it reminds me of all the different adventures we had each day.

Jim's cool picture he took at the Seattle Aquarium.




Ethan had a camera and took many photos also.

Had to take a few selfies :)
Redwood Forest

Doing what kids do best.  Throwing rocks into any body of water.
This is a lake we found in the Redwood Forest.

Writing names in the sand. 
 I got a picture of each kid with their name. 
Hopefully I will get around to printing them out and hanging them up in their room.

It was funny because there were 4 of us with cameras
. LOTS of pictures were taken between all of us.
  Here is me taking a picture of the other three taking a picture of some white deer. 
Yes, WHITE!

A dose of 6 year old cuteness!

Jim demonstrating Confusion Hill. 
 Somewhere you just have to go to believe.


Afton and I on the gondola ride that takes you
 UP and OVER some of the Redwood Trees.

See what I mean?
 I just love beach pictures!
 



Our final picture before we left for home.

 We are dirty and probably smell a little but we survived
 and had a wonderful week together.
