Grand Finale

We had a grand finale to summer. The kids and I  took off after church one Sunday to Umma and Uppa's. Once there the kids played, we visited Nana Kim, Gramma Sharpes and went to see Josh's new house. We only stayed one day then we were off to the Oregon coast.
We camped at Cape Lookout for 4 days. It was a great camp, with beautiful sunny weather. We played on the beach, rode bikes and hung out. Dada showed up on the second day we were there to surprise us. Together we went to the Tillamook cheese factory.
After Cape Lookout we drove up to Seaside. The kids had never seen such a great place; I think Seaside is like a mini Las Vegas for kids. I took them on the Tilt a Whirl for the first time; Oh did we have fun! We did the bumper cars, looked in shops and played video games in the giant arcades.
Next we set off for Riffe Lake to meet up with Umma and Uppa. We camped with them the next 2 nights. They brought their new trailer so that was a fun time trying that out. The second night Burton and Dane stayed with us. The camp sight had a fun game of looking for little faces or figures in the trees. The kids really got into this so we spent a couple of hours looking for them. At the end they each got a necklace and a light stick. They walked around, rode bikes, played at the playground and paled around.
It was a wonderful grand finale of summer. We all came back dirty, tired and refreshed.
