LILLY'S #5 birthday!!

On August 29th, 2020

Our little Lilly turned 5 years old! Her Mommy planned a really fun party for her at the lake! Gpa and I were invited along with cousins. 

 

 

 

 

 

Lisa ordered these really cute and delicious baby bundt birthday cupcakes.

 Lilly was excited about her new barbies, and unicorn pony, her pinata and her new bicycle!

 

 We spent the rest of the day on the lake. We came in for a few hours when it got a little breezy, but went back out and stayed until the sun went down!

 

 Dempsey and Ivory are her two very special cousins.

 

 What fun they had playing in the water all day with Lilly.

Lilly loves surfing with her mommy!

Now Ivory gets brave and wants to try surfing.

Snack time on the boat.

Lucy took a nice little nap.

Captain Lilly, she'll be driving the boat before to long!

Watching the sun set over the lake was worth staying out on the water!

It was a really great day, and so fun to spend it with our kids and grandkids. Happy #5 birthday to Lilly!

More Adventures on Girls Trip!

 Aug. 5th,  Day-4

 We started the day early to hike to the end of Cape Lookout. Its about a 5 miles hike through beautiful, lush greenery everywhere. We were lucky because the fog wasn't too bad. We started out about 8am and there was only 1 car in the parking lot.

The trail started out good, but about half way it got really muddy, so we didn't go much further.

 

We had to check out at 11am and say goodbye to our cute little beach house!

 Then we headed back down the coast to do a few things we missed. Our first stop was Munson Creek Falls. Its a short hike to an amazing waterfall.

 

After the Falls we started driving to Newport. Along the way we found a really good ice cream shop where they make their own ice cream. She even pointed out the cows in the pasture that gave the milk!
Once we got to Newport, we went to the bike rental place. We rode on the beach for 2 hours, in the fog some of the time, but it was really fun.

For Lisa's birthday I gave her some pretty little bracelets, but I thought it was only fair to get Kari and Tami some too. One of them was called 'beachwood', which I thought  was a fun memento of our trip together. 

Then we headed back to Eugene where we had a flight to catch back to Arizona the next morning. That evening we found a nice restaurant to eat at for Lisa's birthday. LaVerl had told us that he was buying, but we didn't get ready in time to find a super nice restaurant, but we found a great Mexican place within walking distance from the Hyatt where we were staying.

After dinner they brought Lisa a plate full of fried sopapillas with chocolate sauce and whipping cream and they sang Happy Birthday in Spanish!

 

This little saying really sums up our whole trip. We loved seeing the Oregon coast, but the best part was spending time together!
