Well Spring Break has come and gone it sure wasn't long enough! We didn't do as much as we wanted to but we did get in a round of Mini Golf and a trip to the coast. Rylee loves to go play mini golf! It is so funny to watch her chase the ball around until she gets it in the hole. The kids all had fun with it and Daddy was getting into it to. Yesterday we headed out to go to the coast. On the way over we had rain and hail but it cleared up when we got over there and we had a nice sunny day! The wind was very strong when we were at Yaquina Head but it made for some fun pictures. We hit up the tide pools and walked around on the rocks. The kids wanted to go inside the Lighthouse but it wasn't open yet so we decided to leave and come back later.When it was time for lunch we realized that the picnic lunch wasn't going to work with all the wind so we decided to head to Mo's. After lunch and a few other stops we headed back to Yaquina Head to see if we could get into the lighthouse. When we got there the lighthouse was open. Baily and Rylee were so excited they were tall enough to make the trip up the 110 stairs to the top of the Yaquina Head Lighthouse. We then went to have some fun on the beach. We knew couldn't come to the beach without taking the kids to see the seals down at the Newport Bay Front! Rylee said that was her favorite part was seeing the seals she was so excited! It was a great family day! We love to spend time at the coast! I think Ben would like to live over there but for right now I think we need to stay where we are :) But it is great to be able to spend time at the beach.
