Fall on the Oregon Coast 2012

So my inlaws--  I L*O*V*E them.

 They spoil us and are taking all 4 kids and families (9 grandkiddos) to the beach!

 Here is our home-- beach front with views that don't quit, and some stairs to go with it!

 Here are Sarah and I with 7 of the 9 kids!

 We MADE it!  The Oregon Coast is a quick drive and Lincoln City is a fave!

 The views were amazing from any window or deck!

 Sunset at dinner time on the first night!

 The table seated 12 easily.  How fun to ALL be together.

 Corey and Casey are great dads and we spent so much time with the BIG kids on the beach.

 Here are the oldest/easiest of the 9 grand kids. 

 The 3 oldest Cowart boys-- The 3 oldest Cowart Girls

 Here are 2 brothers.

 Here is what they might look like older.

 Some of our favorite things :  meeting baby MacKenzie.

 Puzzles,

 Time with favorite cousins,

 7 pedicures from mazy for all of the Grand kids.  Yes, she painted all their toes!

 Relaxing and enjoying the view,

 Watching the whales and surfer,

 Seeing Sandy with all of the grandkids, her favorite thing!,

 The busy-ness of the ocean- boats, whales, seals, surfers and the endless waves,

 kids and sand,

 moats and sand castles,

 Corey and I sneaking time away together,

 forgoing bathes for the hottub instead,

 tattoos on boys!!!!!  ,

 Walks in the sand at sunset,

 but the best was all of us, ALL, together!  It was perfect!

And then we packed up and shook off the sand and headed home EXHAUSTED!!!
