second week in September

The second weekend of September found us sinking into the routine of school and work. Since the summer was pretty low key I booked a family trip to Oregon. I don't remeber going to Cannon Beach, but Austin swears we did when we lived in Portland? On the way down we stopped at my Aunt and Uncle's place in Raymond Wa. Really nice to see them and catch up. The kids had a great time at their place playing outside with my cousins daughter- Kaitlyn. The kids climbed the apple tree and Logan ate sooo many apples I thought he would get sick! At any rate it was the kids first trip to the beach and grandma Spencer came too! We had a blast, our hotel was really nice it had a kitchen and fireplace. Of course grandma Spencer brought food, so we did use the kitchen. The pool was directly under our room so the kids swam every night. We spent part of one day at Seaside Oregon and the rest of the time in Cannon Beach. Lots of fun on the beach and shopping too! Unfortunately our last day at the beach was when we recieved the phone call to hear that "Papa" Allan had passed away. He was the kids great-grandpa and Austin's step grandpa who is married to Great-grandma Marilyn. Alan will be dearly missed by all, but it is comforting to know he will no longer feel ill.
