Vacation...Yipee!

We've just returned from our annual vacation to Rockaway Beach, OR. We love the beach! The trip began with all the kids packed into our van like sardines. The DVD system we bought last year has been worth every cent!!! The boys watched movies the whole drive down.

We had booked a 4 night stay at one of our favorite beach houses. We have stayed at the Sea Mist 3 or 4 other times. But, we were feeling like 4 days wasn't long enough so Cam booked an extra night at a hotel just down the road. Yeah! It was a gorgeous day...sunny and warm. We checked in around 4:00 and headed down to the beach. Sis was a bit unsure of what to make of the sand and surf.

Baby George loved it! He rode on Cam's back and smiled the whole time yelling "WAWER"! He loved it when Cam waded out into the surf with the big boys.

My job (which I prefer) is to watch the kids who are not so fond of the water. Sis and Busy Guy loved digging in the sand.

Tuba of course headed straight to the ocean. It speaks to him. He will dance and sway in the waves for hours...seriously...hours. We had to drag him out to go have dinner. And...after dinner he and Cam made a trip to the emergency room. Yes, no vacation would be complete in our family without a visit to the local ER. Sheesh...we've been to the ER in 3 different states! Tuba had a big scab on the top of his big toe. I noticed it in the morning as we were getting ready to leave. By the time dinner was over it was hugely red and oozing and spreading to the next toe. Cam took him in and the Dr. gave him an antibiotic. We don't know how he hurt it but it sure did get infected fast. Thank the Lord for insurance and antibiotics.

  1. Oh, what a wonderful few days you've all had! I love that you have the chance, as a family, to simply PLAY. Do your cheeks hurt with smiling? Does you middle hurt from laughing? I hope so. And in December, after christmas, you'll get to do it all again!
