Pacific Northwest Vacation - Oregon

The second part of our trip was spent with family and friends in Oregon. Alex and Sophie got to see their Oregon cousins and loved every minute of it. We all had a great time visiting, enjoying the ocean, waterfalls and of course the pool.

Sophie wanted to see pink and purple waterfalls

Cousin Rachel has the best toys!

I love Matthew's old calculator!

Amazing time in Pacific City

Sophie wasn't sure about these big waves

She'd rather play in the tide pools

and find some star fish

Is this water cold or what?!?

We made it to the top of the sand dune! Beautiful view!
