Vanessa's visit!

Well maybe you thought we had forgotten to blog about our last visitor of the summer...

We did. Sorry Vanessa... We were so tired by the time she left that all we wanted to do was sleep, and then it was 130 degrees for like 3 weeks straight and then we just forgot. But tonight we remembered!!

We had SO much fun with Vanessa! We did tons of fun stuff...including (in no particular order)

We went to Cannon Beach, the best beach in Northern Oregon. It was a very typical Oregon coast day, as you can see. Cloudy. Freezing. But Awesome.

Nickel particularly enjoyed it...

Then the 5 of us went to see Dirty Dancing in a park by our house! We got some fried chicken, a blanket, The Name Game, and watched Swayze do his thing!

We also went on a hike to Punchbowl Falls. Kirsten and I did this hike with Chris and loved it so we decided to do it again with Vanessa.

And this time we found the waterfall at the end! Believe it or not we actually didn't see this last time we did this hike. It's a long story...we aren't stupid. But the waterfall is awesome!

Nickel also enjoyed this one. The water was FREEZING. I am WHITE.

We had a great time with Vanessa! Seeing family this summer was really amazing! Soon we will have a much more comfortable place for you all to stay so start making your plans now! We're always in the mood for guests!
