There are lots of pictures in the post put if you stay till the end you will see our next little surprise.
Day 6: It was so wonderful to finally arrive at the beach. Driving through Portland was long but worth it when we saw the waves and sun and God's beauty of "the beach". My parents, and Brent and Latisha were already there and we all had a wonderful evening, dinner, and walk to on the beach.
Day 7: The next day was full of fun and excitement as we started with a trip to the Yaquina head light house. I really enjoy seeing light houses. We were unable to go inside because they have made it so you have to sign up for a tour, we got there at 11:00 and the next opening was at 3:00. Too much more to do for the day so we walk around and enjoyed the outside.
Next we went to the Newport Aquarium. I had told Aidric we were going to go see sharks. He has a t-shirt with sharks on it so I thought that would excite him. Nope, he did not want to see the sharks. You actually get to walk through a tunnel to see the sharks and they swim over and under you. It really was neat. After we went through, Aidric said, he never saw the sharks. So, I took him back in there and showed him the sharks. He did not believe me, and said "these are not sharks, they are fish." We had a science lesson and hopefully he now knows what sharks are.
From there we headed back to the beach house in Lincoln City and had a lovely dinner then dressed for pictures. The pictures turned out great. The weather was wonderful for pictures and we were so thankful.
We went back to the house, Alex quickly edited the pictures, and showed us his work on the tv for all to see. When we were on the beach Latisha and Brent asked him to take some special ones of them and sent us all back to the house. Special pictures they were. As Alex played the slide show he got to this very special picture...
Yes, Brent and Latisha are having another Baby!!!!! We were so excited. What a fun way to announce it. What a great birthday present for August. Definitely the highlight of the day. What a blessing. God is so good.
I'll finish our trip tomorrow. Have a great day.
