Daddy, Braxton, and Landon roasting hotdogs. Makenna is holding her plate waiting for Daddy to cook hers.

Madison playing in the sand at our campsite at Cape Lookout on the Oregon coast.

Madison wanted a turn holding the cute little frog.

This evening Michael was mowing the lawn and found a small frog. Landon thought it was pretty cool.

Madison at swimming lessons.

Madison's favorite thing at swimming lessons is the boards that you float with. She thinks they are pretty neat.

Landon likes the water but wasn't too sure about getting his head all the way under the water...I had to bribe him with some hot wheels stickers...so today he when he jumped in the water he got his head wet...horray...

Octopus Tree Cape Meares, Oregon

Daddy, Mommy, Madison, and Makenna in front of the octopus tree. Braxton and Landon were taking our picture but couldn't figure out how to use the zoom. :)

Landon and Makenna checking out the octopus tree.

Daddy, Landon, and Madison checking out the octopus tree. The tree is a Sitka Spruce that has alot of branches like an octopus. When we first got up to it and were reading the sign Landon read Sitka wrong. He called it a Stinka tree, he wouldn't go near it at first because he thought it would stink. After Michael and I had a good laugh, we convinced him it wouldn't stink. :)

I love this picture too cute. Daddy and Makenna on our hike up to see the octopus tree that is across from the Cape Meares lighthouse.

Cape Meares Lighthouse Oregon
