Oregon Coast Retreat

We recently met some friends/business partners on the beautiful Oregon coast for a little bit of work and play.  It was exactly where a mom in her 3rd trimester should be in July.  I don't think it ever reached 75 degrees the whole time we were there.  It was perfect :)

There were 8 adults and 6 boys (from almost 2 y.o. - 12 y.o.).  Everyone got along great and had a wonderful time.  We spent the days just relaxing at the house, flying kites, playing on the beach, and eating.  I can't believe how much food and how many dishes 14 people generate!

The house was AMAZING!

Kam was very disappointed that this one didn't fly...

 Beach time!

Unfortunately, Kamden did not take well to the time change.  He was up insanely early every day and didn't sleep well through the night.  He ended up spending his nights in bed with me which means I slept horribly as well.  Since we were sharing a house with 3 other families, I whisked him out in the morning so we had some quality time on the beach with no one around... while we waited for the local coffee shop to open.

And no matter where we are, playing in the car is still Kamden's favorite thing to do.  Joe captured this hilarious video...

A special thanks to J.E. for taking most of these photos!
