Again with our family traditions.....4 Years ago after we got married on the 26th of June we decided to take our honeymoon on the Oregon Coast.... we went for 3 days by ourselves to Lincoln City and then met Mom, Grandma, Grandpa, Carissa, Cody, Ashley, & Darrick Jr. up north.We visited Seaside, Canon Beach, and Long Beach.... the following year we went to Long Beach, just Bill, myself and the kids and stayed through the 4th of July holiday. We were absolutely astounded by the amount of fireworks that are let off at Long Beach. It is very cool, and I cannot describe it in a way that would do it justice! We have been going every year since. Last year we took Mom, Grandma, Grandpa and had Uncle Dennis and my cousin Becky meet us there - they were just as amazed. This year Ashley, Darrick Jr., Grandma, Grandpa, Mom, Uncle Dennis, Aunt Carol, Steven, Becky, and our gang all went.....on our way to meet Uncle Dennis and his family we decided to stop at Multnomah Falls and let Brianna and Brandon experience a waterfall for the very first time.... it was a beautiful day and the kids really, REALLY enjoyed it! Brianna was sooo cute, as we left and walked back to the cars she kept waving and saying bye wafall, bye!
