Highway 101 Roadtrip!


Our first stop was Cannon Beach, Oregon. That is Haystack Rock behind us. It is 235 feet tall - whoa!


This is at Chetco Point in Brookings, Oregon. It was a fun little hike with some amazing views out at the point. It used to be an old wharf and you can still see some old pilings. There was a fisherman fishing off those rocks in the background. Who knows how he got out there!


Finally we made it to the Redwood National Forests! This is at the Del Norte Coast State Park, outside of Crescent City. That's a big stinkin tree.


This wasn't even near the biggest trees in the park, but provided a good photo opportunity. What a happy family!




At the Trees of Mystery we rode the Sky Trail high above the trees. It was 570' high and so fun but so scary! Mom was the most freaked out but deep down I think she loved it. It was a slow and nerve wracking 7-minute ride to the top where we got out at the viewpoint and looked around. To one side was the ocean and the other was beautiful California mountains! This might've been the best part of the trip.


Apparently Paul Bunyon and Babe the Blue Ox reside at the Trees of Mystery. Paul was even taller than my Dad! I even got my own little Babe that I love to chew on.

Here are Daddy and I at Fern Canyon in the Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park - yes, that's us way down there in the corner. Parts of Jurassic Park were filmed here. It's a skinny little canyon with 50' tall walls covered completely in ferns! It was such a beautiful walk through the canyon.




On our way out of Fern Canyon we stopped to check out the California coast! I was really mesmerized by those waves. Mom and Dad both got soaked by waves that were a lot bigger than they looked!


We saw lots of other great things like wild elk, sea lions, lighthouses, lots and lots of cool bridges, and a ton of amazing views along the coast! It's good to be back to my crib but that sure was one awesome road trip.

This past week...

I had my first bottle! It was different being fed by Dad but once I realized what was going on I devoured the whole thing in no time.


I was really happy about something.



And yesterday I went to the park with Mommy and Auntie Erin.


On Wednesday Mommy, Daddy and I are leaving on a road trip down the coast! We are taking 101 down and I-5 up. Stops will include Tillamook, Cannon Beach, Redwood Forests and more. We will be back next week so keep an eye out for lots of pictures!

Ocean Shores!

Mom and Dad took me to Ocean Shores with some of their friends! We camped right next to the ocean and had so much fun!
That water must've been cold. My Dad is nuts!
I wasn't the only baby there. My friends Silas and Karolyn came too!

When do I get to chase the seagulls?!

On Friday Mom and Dad bought a "Baby Bjorn" so they can carry me around hands-free. It sure is a cozy ride!

Happy Birthday Aunt Marilyn!


A couple weeks ago, we spent the day in La Conner for Aunt Marilyn's 80th birthday. It was a really nice day and it's so beautiful up there!


Here I am hanging out with Grammy. I guess I won't be wearing that shirt anymore. Mom loves it but it's not supposed to be a belly shirt (not matter how many times you pull it down)!



And here I am with Auntie Erin.

There was a lot of other family there too. It's too bad I didn't get pictures with any of them! Thanks to Uncle Mike for the pictures I did get :)

Say Cheese!

These were some of my very first smiles!


Now days, they get so big my little face can hardly contain them!

Baby Not For Sale.

Back in June we helped Grammy and Aunt Caty have a garage sale.

I got to hang out with my cousin Jessie!

And I fell asleep with my finger in my mouth!
