Our Oregon Vacation- day 3

~ Beach and BBQ day! ~

Little Lydie by the sea. Hat created by the incredibly talented Kendra Fletcher. I absolutely love it!




"How fun! We went to the beach today.
Cold, tidal pools, water, wind, clams,
sea anemones, and fun!"

~ Faith, age 11



"I liked running through the water.
I liked putting wet sand on the
sea creatures and seeing them
close up.

I liked going in the deep puddles
and seeing how deep they were."

~ Sarah, age 6



"Today was fun! I was screaming and laughing!
We ran in the tide. We dug in the sand.
My bucket broke, but I was still able
to use it. It was so fun."

~ Michaela, age 9

  3. Oh, I love the hat on Lydie! Too fun to see it being enjoyed so. I am a big believer in using the things that I make, and I actually delight in seeing holes in the kids' handmade socks :)

  4. Hi MB! We decided to keep a travel journal this time- one we hope to take with us on future trips as well. I love being able to hear about the day in the girl's own words. : )


    Hi Erin! We have really missed you guys! We are glad to be home. : ) Please say hi to your precious bunch.


    Love,
    Rebecca

  6. Glad you had such a refreshing time away. God is so good to His children - blessing, teaching, guiding and loving us everyday...even on vacation! Those quotes are truly delightful and (as always) your photos are just gorgeous!
    Grace to you and yours,

  7. Looks like a fun time! I love the quotes idea. I tell myself all of the time that I need to write down what the kids say during the day, and always forget. What a great way to document these memories.

  8. Thanks ladies! The travel journal is a new idea. But every once in a while I will scribble down something the kids say and put it in a box I have. I figure I don't really have time to scrapbook now, but someday if I have their quotes and photos I'll get to it. If not, me and the grand kids will just sit around and pull quotes out of the box and laugh. : )
