Silver Falls Oregon. There is a trail that winds around several beautiful waterfalls.
Some of them you can walk underneath.
Little Lydia wanting to keep ahead of the rest. It was three miles and she and Elizabeth did an amazing job!
We finally made it!
Newport Oregon.
We took a boat ride out into the ocean. Wow, none of us had been on the ocean before. Lydia is helping with the crab catch.
Elizabeth is smiling, but she was nauseous most of the ride.
I don't have a picture of it, but we saw a blue whale several times pop up. It was incredible! Very exciting to see it come up and breech.
We caught a crab!
Izzy got a hang of flying the kite. I guess that's what you do in Oregon.

Ah, the ocean!
Kristen and Brian get the prize for going the farthest out and getting the most wet. The water is very cold, but they were jumping waves, having a fabulous time.
This is up in the forest with all the fog hiding the ocean.
A light house we almost had time to go into. Bre is super happy to be there.
I'm not sure that there is anything better than the ocean! It's serenity, it's power, it's beauty...I love it!
We made up a game where one person would tell the rest of us to either, jump it (the wave), walk it, or run it. So if we thought the wave was too high, we'd run it. I usually didn't listen to the leader and just ran back. I don't like cold too much.
2013 Oregon trip!
I made a comment awhile back on this post and I just looked and it did not show up. SO here it goes one more time.
ReplyDeleteLove love these pictures. My favorites.......well there are so many I loved but the beach ones are really great. The one with Bree looking off and you took it looking up to her in the weeds, it reminded me of a picture from Anne of green gables.
I will be expecting an invite next time, ha....Jk I know this is a special Johns family thing. But you have me inspired me to go there some day.
I am so jealous. What a fun trip. I love the Oregon coast. Your family is beautiful and you captured some awesome pics of the ocean.
