Over the labour day weekend, Gordon, me, Brooke, Nathan (Gordon's brother), Sarah, Isabella, Keira (Nathan's family), John, Marilyn (Brennan parents), Linda Taylor (family friends) and her family all travelled to Oceanside. It was so gorgeous there! I've never been to the Oregon coast before and I'm so glad I was able to go. We were staying in a beach house that was only about a 3 minute walk to the ocean (see photos below). The weather forecast for our stay predicted rain the entire time so we came prepared with games, however, on Saturday it was around 80 degrees and perfect. So, thats when most of these photos were taken. Anyways, it was a relatively relaxing trip. We stayed up really late laughing, talking, eating and playing games (like wise or otherwise....a really entertaining one!).
Brooke started teething and actually ended up sticking her right fingers into some piping hot cobbler and burnt the first three pretty badly. Luckily they didn't blister, but man oh man, was that a scary moment- hearing your baby scream like crazy, me turning around and seeing what happened and then reacting. Adrenaline was pumping through my body for sure. After 30 minutes of cold water and bags of ice, Brooke was more interested in sucking on the wet plastic bag than her burnt fingers. I think I was more affected than she was.
Besides that, it was a great long weekend. Lots of pictures below!
