Rockaway Beach

We're home from a week at Rockaway Beach, Oregon. For those of you unfamiliar with the area it's about 30 minutes south of Cannon Beach. It's a lot quieter. Less people on the beach and in town. A lot more peaceful. We've also noticed that Cannon Beach and Seaside tend to be in a cloud cover most of the time and we've had amazing weather at Rockaway.

We went on the trip with Jon's cousins PJ, Tami, Madison and Jadon. We have a great time whenever we are around them. Tami and I have lots of things in common and I think Jon and PJ are two peas in pod. Maddie is the best babysitter we could ask for, she loves playing with the girls and she's great at taking care of them. Very responsible for a 10 year old. The added bonus is that they don't seem to mind the added noise level when my kids are involved! :)

Madeline had fun. She loves the ocean! She'd stay in that FREEZING cold water all day. She loves having the waves crash down at her feet.

Abby wasn't too sure about the beach. She wanted to head straight for the water but she only wanted to be at the actual beach for about 20 minutes and then she was pointing back at the house.


Here are some pics!
