Thursday

Thursday was our busy day...we went non-stop pretty much all day. We woke up early to go out on the ocean fishing. It was so cold and a storm was coming in. So we all got bundled up and ready to go. I didn't prepare myself for how cold it was going to be. I had to borrow a sweatshirt from my father-in-law and I was till cold out on the ocean.

Me in the cab, waiting to get going.
Boys excited to go fishing for the first time.

So we get out on the ocean and I think I am going to be ok. I even wore those pressure point bracelets that are supposed to help with sickness. Well we took them back because it did not help at all. I was so sick just rocking all over on the waves. Pretty soon after I got sick both boys joined me. I was trying not to complain and then Logan starts crying saying he wants to go home. I could have kissed him for that. So we turned around and headed back to dry land. I now understand why people kissed the ground after being on the sea for so long. I plan on staying on dry ground from now on.

This is me trying to concentrate on the horizon and not get sick.

Gabe before he got sick.

Since we headed back in early, we stopped by one of the lighthouses there and looked. It was so cute and I loved how they restored it.

Old lighthouse.

They also had cute little shops along the road that we stopped and looked at. Lots of good photo ops there.

Look at those long flowing locks.

My sub kids. Makes me think of Magic School Bus.

Had to sit with the pirate.

Eventually Hailey even sat on the pirates lap.

Just a big walrus.

We also stopped by the aquarium there in Newport to take a look. It was such a cute place and had lots of hands on for the kids. They touched lots of sea animals and got to pet a snack as well. I even had fun there looking at all the wildlife the west coast had to offer.

Looking at the sea lions, Gabe took such great care of Hailey.

Cool shark tunnel.

We finally made it back to the house and had a BBQ and then went back down to the beach again to do another campfire. We were so exhausted. It was a full day.
