Newport Oregon

So I tried to pick just a few pictures from our recent visit to the Oregon Coast. But as you will notice it was hard to pick just a "few". So, I guess what I'm trying to say- It's ok if you get a bit "bored" as you scroll through... (Yes I'm assuming that you will look at ALL of them... :)). I do realize that they are of the trip that we took... not you... so I fully understand that they won't have the same meaning to you as they do to us... ok, ok, enough already...here goes:

Excited to see family!! Love you Uncle Erik!

On the deck of Dad's condo... right on the water!! Beautiful!

Reading....

Becky, Max & Dad at the beach....

Enjoying the sand... and waves... and starfish.. and dead crabs... should I stop?

Loving Life!

Dad & Pam...

Erik on the beach...

Flying a kite on the beach.... didn't work that day... not windy enough. But we did have success later!

No comment....


Exploring the tide pools....

Found a starfish! (I wasn't with her on this trip to the beach... so I feel that I must add that I'm pretty sure that you aren't supposed to pick the "live" ones up... so I won't include the pictures that show her holding ALL of the others.)

Too cute not to be included!

Uncle Erik being protective.... love.

Newport Aquarium...

On top of the Lighthouse... see pic below.

The Lighthouse...

Becky and me at the lighthouse...

Horseback ride on the beach. (Saw a dead sea lion...don't worry, no picture.)
