In the middle of June we met up with my brother Joel and his family at the Oregon Coast. It was our first trip to visit my Mom. We were able to get hotel rooms right next to Mom's little apartment which is walking distance from the bay. Upon arrival Friday afternoon, Mom surprised us with a wonderful h0mecooked meal. Baked beans, meatballs, roasted chicken, and fresh veggies! We took a short walk down to the bay where the kids played in the sand and water. It was freezing out, but the cool weather did not slow the kids down one bit. Friday night we prayed for sunshine and Saturday turned out beautiful. Sunshine and blue skies, thank you Jesus!
Saturday we visited the Newport aquarium, ate a wonderful seafood lunch, spent the afternoon at the beach (Seal Rock), and that evening topped it all off with a pizza dinner in celebration of Jaden and Teagans 8th Birthday!! One of the highlights for me was watching Jaden and Teagan run to Grandma Jo when they first saw her. I believe it had been about two years since they last saw her. It was a great trip and we look forward to future trips to the beautiful Oregon Coast.
