Oregon Coast and Redwood Vacation!

So this was on of the best and longest vacations that we have ever been on! 
That being said this will either be the longest post
ever or I might have to break it up.. and I might leave a bunch out on accident haha

So My cousin got married in the Colombia River Temple.  
We figured since we were already going to be up that direction that
we should make a vacation out of it and go down the Oregon Coast!
Luckily Luke and Tonya were on board cause doing the whole thing with them was so fun! 

First stop was the wedding.  We rode our bikes around the town.


Traveling with cousins is the best :) 



We got to do a little bit of swimming. 
Unfortunately Micah got sick right off the bat haha 
He had a stuff nose and a little fever and 
you could tell that his throat was so so soar. 
Poor thing!! 

We were having a hard time trying to figure out what to do..
did we want to attempt this trip with a sick baby??
Well we gave Micah a blessing a felt like it would be ok, 
and it was! he started getting better really fast 
and he was able to enjoy the trip :) 


I thought this was so cute.. Tally was telling Matt a story or something 


We went to church and Micah was really fussy so dad took him out and when 
Sacrement was over we went to find them and found Micah passed out on 
bampa's lap :) 

On Sunday we headed for the coast! 
We turned Micah forward facing for the first time on this trip
It was a lot nicer for all of us 


We stopped at this pretty waterfall on the way 


We drove through Portland and stopped to see Matt's high school! 


Our first night we camped on the coast. 
The beach was just a small walk away and there were 
berries in our campground 



Micah's first time seeing the ocean! 



That morning we went on a hike and then later that day we hiked down to this awesome beach!


We had fun playing in the sand 
while the boys explored caves. 
I went in the cave after they explored it and it was really cool.
We had to do some wading through the ocean and it just about killed me!!
So cold, but way fun.


We rode bikes on the beach!



On our way down the coast we stopped at this beach where we found a crab! 



We also got to go to the coolest aquarium! It was awesome because it was a small group that 
went on the tour and it was super personal. 




After wards there was a little show that was one of my favorite things! 
the seals were so funny and we were RIGHT there. So cool .




One of our very favorite parts of the trip was riding bikes through the redwoods. 


The trail started out as a road and ended up as a single track which was SO fun. 


After the bike ride we had a picnic by this crazy huge tree! 


After that picnic we headed for Reno where we spent the night and then headed out to the farm. 

Micah went on his first tractor ride!! 




All the grandkids in once place! 
That's a pretty big deal.


On Sunday we headed home.  

This was a very very condensed version of this trip. 
There's so much more I could write about, but I figure a little 
bit is better then nothing! haha
