Cannon Beach

A couple weeks ago we found out that both the Crawfords and Starrs would be at Cannon Beach the same time we would be vacationing. Since Cannon Beach is close to Seaside (about 15 minutes) we decided to join up. And today was the big day. And just for fun lets review of how many people make up these 4 families.

Currey's-6

Finnestad's-7

Crawford's-8

Starr's-4

We have 17 children between us, and they all really enjoyed playing together!

I must say that it was one of my favorite days so far. I absolutely love the pictures that I was able to capture.

Running and jumping in the surf was one of the funnest activities. The waves were huge! Some must have been at least 10 feet. There were a few surfers and know that Kevin was wishing he could join them. Since we didn't have a surf board (or wet suit) he raced the waves with his kids. Hand in hand with Kadin they laughed and giggled each time one would come at them. Austin ran so fast that the water could hardly keep up with him. And Emma was thrilled to jump until she was too exhausted to continue.

We did a little rock climbing, hunting in the tide pools, kite flying, sand playing, and we also had some time to rest, eat and visit.

We were able to get almost all the kido's into one picture (only missing the 3 babies), and most of them are even looking at the camera! I think that is some serious photography skills (okay, to be honest there were 4 moms all taking pictures at the same time. I guess one of us was bound to get a good one!).

A great day that was topped off by one of the best bubble baths in history. Note to self- only add a very small amount of bubbles to a jet tub!
