Wow and Double WOW

We had an awesome time at the Feast. Seaside had some really nice weather which was such a blessing for that time of year. We had sunsets on the beach too! I was so excited. And the evening we decided to do Canon Beach it was clear and a GORGEOUS sunset. You can see all the pics at flickr. I'll also post some on here gradually. Rayne had a lot of fun. AND......drum roll.......Quinn go this first tooth at the Feast! It finally broke through and we were all so excited. He slept really well there too. The bed we had in the house we rented was SO comfortable. I wish we had that bed. So the little man is growing up. Now he has a tooth. Soon there will be two and then he will be crawling and on and on..sigh. We went to the Maritime Museum in Astoria and Rayne got to go down inside a very large retired boat. She watched a movie about rescue boats and loved it and told me all about it very adamantly. We also went to the aquarium in Newport and she loved that too. Got to "pet" a starfish. She wants a pet turtle too. She also got to ride the carousel at the Carousel Mall near where we had Church and she LOVED LOVED that. She loves those things. She also got lots of presents and had fun playing with her new friends. Oh and she sang in the Children's choir and had fun doing that. As you can tell, we were very busy and had a lot of fun. We also went to the Cheese factory and sampled Tillamook cheese and got an ice cream. The Seaside, Oregon boardwalk had swings right on the beach so her and Quinn got to swing on the beach facing the Ocean which was neat. Seaside, Oregon is actually a really fun place to go. I would love to go back someday. There are tons of little shops and a boardwalk and "things" to do to keep busy. Canon beach was my favorite, I've wanted to get sunset pictures there FOREVER. Now I finally have some and I love how they came out. Kipper (our dog) went to my brother in law's and had a lot of fun with his roommates dog and cat. So all around it was a good time for everyone. Now we are home and getting back to the grind as they say. More to report later, too tired now.
