Cannon Beach #4

The 4th annual Droullard Family Oregon Coast trip was a success! This has been a super fun tradition my parents have started and we are thankful for this time together. A highlight is watching the cousins interact and play together. My nephew, Garret, is almost 6 years old and he impressed me with how well he played with Piper and the babies. For 45 minute stretches he would sit and entertain Calvin or Jett in the exersaucer making them laugh and smile with his sillyness. Piper and Garret get along really well too. They had fun screaming and laughing and running around the house. Bubbles and water ballons were a hit as well as chasing the waves at the beach.
With all the extra hands willing and excited to help with the twins, we took full advantage of passing the boys around. My sister being a light sleeper, got up with the early risers in the AM and my mom got lots of snuggle time too as the boys had a cold and were feeling extra snugly.
Dave and I even got to enjoy a few nice long walks on the beach after all the kids were in bed. Thanks Mom and Dad!
We ate great food, Dave and Kevin worked on their sand castle skills, there was exciting tide pool exploration, letter box stamp searching, kite flying and lots of time ooogaling over how cute our kids are! A successful trip indeed.
By the way, Calvin and Jett are now 6 months old!!! We can't believe how fast the time has gone. Calvin is rolling all over the place and Jett is getting good at sitting up. It is pretty cool to have the two of them to watch and see all the differences between them.
