Prior to our Hood climb, my entire family took a trip to Neskowin, a beach on the coast. It was extra special because my dad's mom came up from Salt Lake to be with us for the week. It was mostly a relaxing week of games, food and more games. The highlights:
Beach football.
Team 1: Chels, Grandpa, Brent, Me
Team 2: Darel, Syd, Nick, Shea
Sadly, my team was bested by the younger, taller talents of team 2. Although by game 3, we finally came out on top. We were the only ones on the beach and it was a beautiful night.
Surfing lessons.
Syd and Nick. Commonly known as "Snick".
Sydney's boyfriend Nick runs his own surfboard design company. Apparently that means he knows something about surfing. He gave us a few lessons, although most of us were pretty bad. We're just going to have to make a trip to SoCal so we can learn in better waves. That had to be the problem, right?
The Aquarium. The boys were fascinated by all the sea creatures. They just couldn't quite figure out how to grab them through the glass.

Oh Darcee you have such a wonderful family!!! We are leaving for the coast on Tuesday with my family and just looking at these photos is getting me sooo excited! All of you girls are so beautiful and I can't believe how tall and good looking your brother is... how old is he;) I love how relaxing and laid back the coast is. When I'm there I always think, "I wonder what it would be like to live here?" Anyhow we seriously need to all get together I'll call you:)
Oh and not to freak you out and you probably think I'm dumb- but I've heard more then once that babies shouldn't have berries until after a year old especially strawberries because they are so easy to form an allergen to. Maybe I'm wrong and overparonoid - just thought i'd pass that on to you though:)
Looks like tons of family fun!!! I love to go to the beach, should go more since we aren't that far away from it.
Love all the pictures of your family. I haven't seen them all in years, and miss them muchly. Favorite things: when you are around the aunts/uncles/g-parents and you don't have you hold, feed, or change your kids that much. What a lovely break to have arms free once in a while!
Sounds like a fun trip! I had no idea you guys were going on a trip with your family to the coast. Way to go on climbing Mt. Hood!
I miss you! Nice to catch up on the fam. Everyone looks great! Shea looks so much like his dad. One of my favorite memories of him was taking him home from kindergarten one day and having him cracking up in the backseat. I asked him what was so funny. He said, "I'm tickling myself, and it's driving me crazy!"
I already miss you guys! It's about time you posted about the trip. Are you going to put your pics on Shutterfly? Do, 'cause I want some of them. Tell the boys favorite tia loves them:)
Your family is smokin' hot Darc. Seriously, could you and your siblings get any better looking?
Lizzie's a good woman. I like where's she's going with that comment. Also, Snick is avoiding massive paparazzi attacks due to recent publicity on the burnettgazette (the most popular blog to date). However, it is something that Snick is willing to deal with to appease it's many fans.
