In the end, we headed to the coast with a sick 2 year old. By the time we arrived, I had a massive headache, a stuffy and foggy head, a horrendous sore throat, had sneezed 20 times, and was quite car sick. Lovely.The day was cool and overcast, but just right for a walk on the docks.
We visited a local lighthouse...
...enjoyed the sights...
...and walked on the beach. Leif was an absolute doll all weekend and provided a great deal of entertainment. He and Russ were inseparable.
In spite of illness and a slight change of plans, the weekend went well. Shannon and Ben came over yesterday with Levi and Luke. The day was gorgeous. I have lots of pictures to share this week, but right now I am busy with three sick little boys, a disastrous house, and load after load of laundry. Looks like we might not be up to speed by the middle of this week. Ah, another revision of plans....
we have had the same crud at our house for the past week. i feel your pain! hang in there. it will get much better. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great weekend...the last picture says it all! I love your blog..its so simple but the photography is delightful to look at. My load of laundry...or should I say loads...is right around the corner.
ReplyDeleteHave a great night!

What's life w/o a few revisions...right?
ReplyDeleteSorry the kids are sick. It's going around here too. I had to keep Kate home today. She has the most terrifying cough. Literally, it's so loud she startles me once in awhile!
Take care!

Is that...the Oregon coast? Just curious.
ReplyDeleteI miss the Pacific so much!
Love your blog by the way.

I'm glad a few of you can relate! Or, I guess I'm sorry for you, though... I'm really tired of being sick myself and ready to get my energy and enthusiasm back!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleterebekahdawn~ Yes, it's the Oregon coast. Newport, to be exact. :) It sure is lovely, isn't it? More pictures all week...
How fun.....except for your headache..that stinks! :(
ReplyDeleteI have never been to a lighthouse..but I would like to...that would be such a fun experience! :)
That looks like such a lovely time, Heidi.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you guys stay in Newport? We are always on the lookout for a frugal overnight place for a family of five :)
ReplyDeleteLove the photos...you have talent!
Mrs. Q~ We stayed at the Shilo Inn. Certainly nothing fancy, but I don't know if I'd call it frugal... Maybe 140-150/night with tax? We visit the coast every so often, but rarely stay overnight, so I did the eenie-meenie-miney-mo routine. :)
