Trip to Washington/Oregon

Best part of the trip!!! :)

First stop Pasco, WA where Nana, Papa, Aunt Tiffany, James and Katie live. The kids had tons of fun with their cousins Gabe and Nolan
Daily we walked to James and Katie who live around the block from Nana These two were inseparable

We went to a cool park by the Columbia River. Afterwards, Rob taught us how to skip rocks on the river.Zip line and funky swings

It even had a fun water park, We had a grand BBQ at James' and had a great time relaxing

Then we headed to the COAST!! Long Beach. There we met up with Uncle Mike and Rachel and more cousins Lauren, Jake and Colten. Rachel's parents live there and they let us use one of their beach houses.

Drew went on his first guys golfing trip, with his own new clubs! The best bakery in the world is there and the kids were in heaven We had fun that day with Mike and Rachel and the kids, We went and saw two light houses
Ate more doughnuts :)

We also saw some old army barracks

Where we goofed around and Uncle Rob punched out Laurens loose tooth!!!

Here we are playing around with the camera in our beach house

The coolest Museum in LB with Jake the Man-alligator!
That place had everything!

We took Elle and Drew here when Elle was 4

The Arcade, Kids had so much fun- well Rob too. Elle and Drew were whizzes on Deal or No Deal, they earned 350 tickets!

But the best part had to be the beach

Perfect 75/80 weather

The tide kept getting closer we had to move our car 3 times! Elle and Drew stood on this log for like an hour!

The day we left we took one last gander down to the beach, Kate just had to get in
Then we were off to Mike and Rachel's house in Vancouver WA. We stopped at Robs home town Scappoose on the way and ate at Burgerville of course. Such a beautiful, green, town!

The Brothers took Matt golfing for a little bonding time before the big wedding! I think there were a few gifts hidden in that bag! lol!!

BLACKBERRIES!!! Everywhere!!! YUM!

Friday night we had a "rehearsal Dinner" with Matt's bride Brittany's family. John and Karen drove up with Taylor, Megan and CJ. Grandma and Gpa Olson flew in too.
