Labor Day Weekend 2010

I was super excited for Labor Day Weekend this year, and just like that it's gone. I had such a fun trip to Oregon to visit my parents and best friend that I was sad to see it over so quickly. Cam and I left Spokane Friday afternoon and didn't get into my parent's house until pretty late. Saturday Cam hung around with my dad down at the barn and ran some errands with him. I went to Costco with my mom and had a lovely lunch at the Big Wave Cafe in Manzanita. After that we took the girls for their much anticipated walk on the beach. They both had so much fun. They love the beach! Maisy just likes to run around, but Tia loves to dig holes and watch the water fill them up. They both weren't incredibly adventurous and weren't thrilled with having to walk through the water. :)

Saturday night we went to the San Dune with Cass & Scott and watched a karokee band from Portland. Talk about some great entertainment. Some people should have been cut off immediately! No, I didn't get up and sing. :)

Sunday we went to the Cheese Factory because you just have to go if you are close to Tillamook. We bought my 2 favorites: white garlic and smoked cheddar and also got some famous "squeaky cheese". Yummmm.

After we went to Tillamook we went home and got the girlies and took them hiking up by Nehalem Falls. They had a blast! We first went and looked at where the bridge got washed out a couple of years ago in a bad storm. It wiped out the railroad tracks and the bridge; both will probably never get fixed. The girls loved the nature hike. There were so many interesting things to smell. :)

Later that night we had a bonfire on the beach with Cass, Scott, and his boys. Maisy was so excited to have kids to play with. She played fetch till she about passed out. Tia just wanted to sit on momma and Aunt Cassie's lap. :)

All four of us wished we could have stayed longer. Trips to Oregon are always way too short. :(
