We have a bit to catch up on...

Ok, so it's been a while since I've posted on this blog. We've really been wanting to share some pictures of our fun trip to Newport Oregon the last week of December. Enjoy this for now, and then I'll catch you up on the little contents' doings in the upcoming weeks.
Happy belated new year, new president, and here's to a hopeful future!


Here we are at the Tillamuck cheese and ice cream factory. We had to taste test the ice cream, of course! Haydn could've watched the cheese factory workers all day. He was fascinated with the process and desperately wanted to go down and help out.

A fun little spot to catch fish 'n chips in Newport. Great view - we enjoyed watching the fishing boats come in and out, and even had a seal stop by.

Newport Aquarium fun - we spent a great day exploring the aquarium and learning about the creatures there.

Haydn kind of wishes he could ride on his pet turtle like this!

Getting our wiggles out at the cold, but fun play area outside.

Haydn insisted that mommy sit on the turtle too, but the statue was Freezing! This was as close as I got-

Naomi flashing us a pretty smile while babbling on about turtles and fishies.

Haydn meets giant crab. Sure to be lifelong friends.

The beach was gorgeous and a fascinating new experience for Naomi especially. She didn't care that her bitty fingers, nose, and toes were freezing.

Running, running, running. Naomi chased a lot of waves with daddy.

Couldn't leave without drawing our names in the sand. Had to leave our mark, no matter how temporary.

What a fun trip - we were wiped out, but have a lot of fun memories!
