4th of July Camping Trip


We just got back from five great days at the Oregon Coast (outside our favorite coast town, Manzanita) for our annual family camping trip with both sides of our family. This year some friends of ours also happened to be camping at the same campground with their four children and we all had a lot of fun together.



A misty morning at our campsite.

A visit to the infamous Flamingo Jim's.


We spent an afternoon crabbing with Grandpa Darell in the bay. The girls loved catching the crabs but didn't care too much for eating them.


Waiting for the parade in Manzanita. We set up our chairs at 7 am and almost all the spots on the entire street were already reserved!




The girls with one of their favorite uncles, Dale.

Root beer floats for dessert on the 4th!

Making the trek up the short hill to the beach to watch the fireworks.

Waiting around the campfire for the fireworks to start.

  2. So fun! Now that we are going to be homeowners and not have much money for travel - I think we should plan on a trip every summer to the Oregon Coast - we had such fun last year! Your pictures remind me of what fun times there are to be had on the Coast! Glad you had a good trip :)

  3. The top photo in this grouping looks like a dance. The angles and lines of the girls and Shane. I love it. Of course, I enjoy all the other pictures too. Sweet family.
