Beach trip with the Larson clan in August

The second week in August we went down to Lincoln City with my family for 3 nights.  We left Friday in the late afternoon and then came back on a Monday.  My parents, my sister Rachel and her husband Patrick and her son Jasper, and then us were all going to share a beach house for the 3 nights.  My mom and I found the beach house in late May and didn't have a ton of options but we found this cute house not too far from the beach that had a really nice views and a deck with a hot tub.  We got to Lincoln City at around 6 and had a yummy pizza dinner.  My sister Rachel told me some exciting news that she was pregnant and due in the end of March.  The kids went in the hot tub after dinner and then we headed to bed.

The next day we had a lot of fun going to the beach in the morning.  It started pouring while we were down at the beach so we headed back to our house.  Sean and I headed to the store to get the seafood and ingredients for our dinner.  We came back to the house and enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub before we headed to the beach again before dinner.  Sean made a yummy seafood dinner and we enjoyed going in the hot tub after dinner.

The next day was our last full day at the beach.  The cousins enjoyed hanging out together in the morning and then we headed to the beach.  After we went to the beach, Sean and I snuck off to do a little shopping at the Outlets.  We headed back to the house and then my sister had to leave as they had to work the next day.  We said goodbye to Rachel's family and then headed to one of our favorite restaurant's, Rusty Truck brewery nearby.  We had a yummy dinner and then headed down to the beach one more time before we went to bed.  It was such a fun trip!
