Cannon Beach

We could not have picked a better week to spend in Oregon's beautiful Cannon Beach. Portland was experiencing a record breaking heat wave, giving us perfect temperatures on the coast. We spend 5 wonderful days at the beach with the ENTIRE Bury clan! Ellsie was constantly entertained by her older cousins who took every chance to hold her and play with her.



Ellsie was the shinny new toy!



The kids had so much fun playing in the sand and water. They literally could run around sand, rocks and water for hours! The boy's would come back to the house covered head to toe in sand.


Chris and his little Ellsie. We just love this hat:)


One afternoon we went to Main Street for dinner. Brandon, Silas, and Ryan were so cute holding hands walking across the street. The boy's are all withing a few years of each other and they play so well together.


Getting ready for pizza. Once again Ellsie was decked out in one of her oh so cute outfits. This pizza parlor was so busy. I guess AC isn't a must in Oregon, however it would have been nice this week. We were so hot sitting in the back of this restaurant... the pizza was worth it.


No beach trip is complete without a bon-fire and smores! Sommer and I are obsessed with roasting marshmallows for smores and we pride ourselves on make the perfect golden brown marshmallows.


Grammy and Pops bought the kids matching outfits for a beach photo shoot. It was almost impossible to get the kids to sit in one place let alone look at the camera all at once but they did so good.




Aunt Christine bought very age appropriate gifts for the boy's. I thought I was getting soft shooting nerf guns but these things shoot like CRAZY! Uncle Chris and Jordy had to regulate:)


Abby was always there to take care of baby Ellsie. She is such the care giver to all the younger kids. Abby read books to Ellsie and helped her with her cheers... "The roof. The roof. The roof is on fire. We don't need no water let it rise rise HIGHER!"
