June

 This cute little cheeser on our drive to go camping with the Hendricksons and Grandma and Grandpa Hogg and Aunt Shayla.

 Such a pretty reservoir we hiked to. Loved it!

 Zak got to ride in this raft the whole time we were up at the reservoir. He got to 'fish' with help from his cousin Thomas. He absolutely loved it and loved this camping trip.

 LOVE this picture of our neice, Laura.

               This was Zak (above) and Nate (below) within about 10 minutes of arriving at Seaside, OR.

                                    Zak, Eldon and Elliot

                         Cole with our hotel in the back and to the left of him. Nate's parents had an amazing condo we got to stay in there. It was so much fun!

                   I love this sunset picture of everyone on the beach.

            There was a just a spiral staircase inside of this tower that you could go up for a beautiful view.

                                                       Delish fish and chips in Astoria!

                                 What a cute cow Grandma has. =)

                     Grandma sure knows how to get these boys nice and relaxed. Lotion, cuddles and movie.

We had the most fun June going camping in Ladd Canyon at Beaver Creek with Nate's sister Shauna and her family. They are fabulous campers and showed us the ropes on how to camp in style even with no bathrooms or firewood to buy. =)  Zak has been way into wanting to learn to fish and this was the perfect opportunity for him to do so.  His cousin fished with him at the lake forever and would catch fish and let him reel them in and then also release them back into the lake. Once we hiked back to the campground from the lake, Thomas took Zak to the creek where they continued to fish. He loved every minute of this camping trip. It was a beautiful spot and I really enjoyed myself too. Cole enjoyed throwing rocks and just being able to be outside 24/7. A week or so later Nate's parents had a condo for 10 days up in Seaside and invited us to spend some time with them there. We stayed for about 3 nights and overlapped a night with Nate's sister Shelbey and her kids. Zak absolutely loved this trip as well. He's missed playing at the ocean and got to do that, PLUS play in the pools and hot tubs so he and Cole both really had a good time.  It was nice to overlap a night/day with Shelbey too so the kids could have some fun cousin time. Nate and I got to go out at night on our own to explore the town once the kids were in bed and his parents would stay with them. So we all had a nice vacation there.
