We had an amazing family reunion in Seaside, OR this summer. Wow. I loved it there. I have really not done much coastal stuff in WA or OR and it's such a shame! Wow to the sand, the water, the beauty, the touristy feel to the town. I just love Seaside. So. Much. I'm not a hot weather and warm water person, so the mild but nice weather, the cold water...does it get better? I literally fell in love with this place a three hour drive from home.
I didn't take many pics with my nice camera, but here are a few...
Cute Isaac...the youngest grand baby, and Jeff and Mary's youngest...
Isaac and Mary...
Sleeping on the beach is the best. Here are my folks.
those two big buildings behind him is where we stayed. Our room was on the left side only one room from the beach side of the building. We stayed at Worldmark which can't be beat. Best spot in Seaside! Thanks for putting us up, Mom and Dad! We had four rooms for the big group and it worked well. I shared a three bedroom unit with Robb and Heather's family. It was fun.
Molly...I may have taken more pics of Molly because she moved to Spain like two weeks after this trip!
Leo loves playing in the sand!
So does Betsey...
So do all the cousins...
We ventured out in our coordinating outfits for a big family photoshoot...I'm so glad we did. It was a beautiful backdrop and the weather was perfect and the kids, though dirty pretty fast...took some amazing portraits! And now...please endure and onslaught of Hamm Family posers...
First, the older boys. Van, Nathan, Carson and Mason...
Next, the three little boys...
Isaac, Leo and Davis.
Be still my obsessed heart...
They were a hoot to photograph...but I mean, Leo is pretty much nailing this shot.
My folks, who I am told look like mature models...
Jordan and Ashley with a photobomber...
Jordan and Ashley...it was our first time having Ashley join our family on a vacation. It was so fun having her along and getting to know her better. She fits in well.
The big girls...
Hailey, Sarah, Ruby, Alice and Emma...
Had so much fun with these beauties.
My mom playing with some of the kids while I worked with other groups.
Jeff and Mary.
The three first borns. Three girls, born within eight months of one another. Hailey is the youngest, Ruby is the oldest and Sarah is between...
My folks with their grand kids...
My folks with their five children. What a blessing to still be all around, able to take a picture like this...
Braden's cute family...Amanda has her hands full with those three cute buddies.
The little girls. Jane is the older of these three by a couple years, but she is one of the girls. Betsey, Addy and Molly are all close in age, just a few months between the three. So fun.
Bets, Jane, Adaline, Molly...
Isaac was ready for more pics after a good roll in the sand.
Leo wouldn't join us for another pic, but my girls did.
Braden and Amanda...
Emma and Alice are truly besties.
My family. I don't mind it.
Jeff and Amanda's family...
