For our last big summer adventure, we headed to the Oregon Coast for a week of fun (without the sun) with Ben's family. 4 of his 5 siblings were there (the other is on a mission), all the grandkids and Nana and Papa. We had a wonderful week with lots of sand, water, and playing!

If there was one thing all of the kids loved more than anything it was the HOT TUB! Requests were made hourly to get in that darn tub.

When I look at the pictures, I just want to go back to the beach and be all together (minus the flu).
I was just thinking you hadn't blogged for a while, but you sure made up for the lack!! It is fun to see all of your cute pictures! I'm glad you guys had an enjoyable summer! I can't believe how big your kids are, especially Chloe. She looks so grown up! Now after all that excitement, go relax (and chill with a hat on!)!! You look great! Good luck with the last weeks of pregnancy!
You are such a cute pregnant woman! And it is absolutely no surprise that Ben won the hand stand contest:) I love the tie-dye shirts by the way!!!
