A couple of weeks ago my sweet, generous inlaws rented a house in Lincoln City and invited all of us kids to crash their party! Even though the weatherpeople tried to convince us that storms would be keeping us off the beach, we went anyway (because we love our family) and hoped for the best. We ended up getting many many bright beautiful hours of sun almost everyday! For those of you who aren't familiar with Oregon beaches & are laughing at the photos of the cousins playing, I want to tell you that YES, winter attire IS appropriate 75% (or more) of the year, even when the sun is out, but that doesn't change the fact that's it's truly one of the most beautiful places in earth! We were there for the better part of a week and what a gift it was to have some fun downtime with such wonderful people, at one of my very favorite places. I'm so lucky to have so many close friends built in to our extended family and my sister and her daughter even came for a couple of nights. An added bonus as we were heading out Tuesday afternoon was Kevin suggested my sister and I ride in her car and he take all (4) of the kids with him...what?!? Is he crazy? Wait, on second thought, we quickly agree before he rethinks his offer! Over and hour and a half of uninterrupted talk time with my sister was amazing! That never happens! NEVER. We had full conversations. We didn't have to answer numerous questions, make/give snacks, break-up arguing, or listen to kid music. I love my kids fiercely but I'm not gonna lie, it was pure bliss.
More about the beach later.

Way to go Kevin! That's such a generous offer...and I'll bet a much needed mama break:) Good for you girls!
The blog looks awesome, Annie. Way to go. Can't wait to see more beach pictures! That running one just makes me so happy. Love you - Jen.
