The Oregon Coast -- July Cullimore Family Reunion

We went to Oregon for a family reunion. Is was so much fun. Here is a recap of our trip:

Thursday and Friday we drove with Dennis and Kathy. We picked up Brady, Elizabeth, Sophie, and Bella at the airport and then finished driving the last few hours of the trip. Everyone was sick of the van.

The first night after dinner we went to the beach. It was beautiful.

Ryan explored all sorts of rocks and plant life.

The water was freezing!!!

But that did not stop us from getting in.

The home that we stayed in was beautiful. There were eight bedrooms and five bathrooms. All the children had a bed. It had a game room and a jacuzzi. It was great!!

The next day we had pictures.

And we went to the beach after lunch.

Ryan ate a lot of sand.

He did not really get in the water because it was cold,

but he had fun digging and getting covered in sand. Grace had a lot of fun with her cousins in the water. We had a hard time getting her to leave.

There was a line to rinse all the dirt off in the shower with warm water. Yeah, it was outside and had warm water.

The kids then played in the jacuzzi to warm up from the cold beach.

After the first day of driving home, the kids had some fun decorating Grace with hair clips.

Derek sat with the two children after lunch on Monday and showed them Bob the Builder clips on his computer.

We got home around five and Derek left about ten minutes later. He sang Bob the Builder while playing softball. He says that is why he had such a good game...until he didn't (that is when he busted his leg).

It was good trip. I wish we would have had more time with the family at the beach home, but the time we did have was awesome and some great memories!
