Blog Letters: Beach Vacation - Day Three - "Let's go to Seaside and Cannon Beach"

On Thursday we decided it would be fun to go down and poke around in Seaside. So after breakfast we all loaded up into the jeep and off we went through Ilwaco over the Astoria bridge and into Seaside. After finding a parking spot we walked around, explored the crazy mirrors at the Candyman's sweet shop and got a free salt water taffy.

We had a blast exploring the aquarium and feeding the seals which was my favorite part and now I desperately want a baby seal. They are just so cute with their big eyes and when the clap their hands, it just makes me so happy.

After walking through the aquarium we walked through a few more stores before deciding to go down to Cannon Beach where we looked for a really close friend of mine who is working the summer there, but sadly missed him. We did however have a really nice outside lunch at a lovely restaurant and they had a amazing clam chowder too. 
 On our way back we stopped in Astoria to get some seafood for dinner and we had a feast of crab, salad, green beans and pop. It was a delicious meal and nobody was hungry afterwards well, that is until the ice cream can out :)

The One Where I Graduate

Hey, Everyone! This girl did the thing, she got her diploma. Not without the help of some dear people. My teachers are incredible through the last few years at the co-op I have worked with me and taught me so many valuable and cherished lessons.  I have been blessed with a loving and hard-working Mother who has spent countless hours preparing and teaching lessons. She has spent time discussing, researching and praying over the best direction she needed to take with my education. My parents have encouraged me through any adventure I chose to embark on. They never let me believe I couldn't achieve whatever I set out to do. They taught me that hard work would always be rewarding, to always do best, and by example, they taught me to put others first and give when I can.  My brother James is truly the best brother in the world. He is my sidekick in life and we have had countless adventures together. He has shown me to accept whatever happens and be happy at the moment. He has taug...

Meet Riley!

 Hey, so you remember all those posts I did in July? Yeah, me either....I am sorry guys. Summer has been great! Full of adventures and fun. We had our VBS, celebrated the 4th, I had my college orientation (a hopeful future post), we went camping, and enjoyed many days outside in the sunshine. Along with all these fun summer activities, there has been an addition to our family.     Everyone, meet Riley! A fun-loving, three-year-old, German Sheppard. She came to us through Spokanimal, but she is originally from LA. There, she was found on the streets and had just had puppies. We don't know what happened to the puppies but are thrilled to have her in our family. Riley loves grass absolutely loves it. She rolls around in it all the time and wants to be outside as much as she can. So far, she has loved everyone she has ever been around. The first day we got her we had our VBS team and a couple guys came over and she loved them. Last week we had twenty band kids over for a c...

New Roads

Another adventure I have been up to is driving, I started driver's ed about 3 weeks ago and what and adventure it has been. Between navigating the DMV for my permit, learning to deal with teachers and classmates that are different from what I am used too. Not to mention the actual driving, hehee that has been entertaining. One of my first times out, there was an incident involving a Zip's parking lot, a turn lane and a learning what a drive thru lane is. Moral of story I now know what a turn lane is, everyone lived and I am sure that the guy in the drive thru wasn't in shock for long, whoops! Last night's adventure involved a car trying to cut me off, driving in too close at the gas station,  a imaginary person in the road and hitting a porcupine. (Which I actually cried over) What I am learning is that I am never going to be instantly perfect at something I am going to mess up. The important thing to remember is I have amazing parents here to help me learn, a class ...
