Family Vacation 2009- Waldport, Oregon

Well, here are some pictures from our recent vacation to Oregon. We had a great time and were able to see lots of fun and interesting things while we were there. We also had a wonderful time visiting with my mom and dad, a.k.a. Grandma and Grandpa Mallen. They spoiled us while we were there. The boys have been asking when we are going back to visit again. We will have to see when the mom and dad are ready to drive that far with 4 boys again.

Packed and ready to head out from the house in Hermiston.

The whole gang at Seal Rock, right before we got to Waldport.

Cameron and Colby playing on the beach on a very foggy 4th of July.

Don't they look handsome all dressed up for church at the Waldport Branch.

The boys at Smelt Sands in Yachats. There were a bunch of huge rocks and cool blowholes.

We put them in the tank at the Oregon Coast Aquarium.

Carnage at the crab place in South Beach. It was so yummy, Cohen even ate some!

This is how we kept Cohen entertained during the trip!

Staircase and the Yaquina Head Lighthouse. 114 steps to the top.

Lighthouse as seen from the Sea Lion Caves.

Tillamook Cheese Factory. Wall-to-wall people!

This truck was in the parking lot at Tillamook.
Swiss license plate...do you think they drove here?

Smallest harbor in the world; Depot Bay, Oregon.

Beautiful Mt. Shasta on our way home from Oregon.

The view from our hotel room in Reno.

Well, we've been home from vacation for about 5 days now. I haven't been able to put any pictures on here because Cameron took the camera with him to scout camp this week. We arrived home from Oregon on Friday night at about 10:00 p.m. It was a long drive across Nevada from Reno where we stayed on Thursday night. Driving to and from Oregon is too long a drive for the boys without stopping somewhere in between. We had to hurry and get laundry done so that Cameron could pack and be ready to go to camp Monday morning. He will be back on Saturday. As soon as he gets back with the camera, I will get the pictures and have them posted with more details about our trip.
