Last week we returned from our Bonner family reunion in Seaside, Oregon. Steve has 3 siblings and with all of us combined there were 9 adults and 19 kids. Steve is the baby of the family which means a lot of cool big boy cousins for Carson to play with. We stayed at our timeshare in Seaside which was so wonderful because we all had our own space complete with kitchens. The Oregon Coast is BEAUTIFUL, but never warms up much. We made the best out of it though and had a lot of fun. Here is a summary of what we did:
***Rented two boats and went crabbing. The boys thought this was especially cool. We cooked our catches up for dinner, but seemed to have a lot leftover…

·
***Went to the tidepools at Cannon Beach.

· *** Visited the Maritime Museum in Astoria.

| Making our own rope |
· ***Checked out the Seaside Aquarium only a few blocks from our hotel.
· ***Plenty of playing on the beach. (Adults wearing sweatshirts and the kids playing in the water.) =)
 |
| Roasting hot dogs |
·
***Swimming, swimming, and more swimming in the hotel pool.
 |
| Perfect location, right on the beach (except for the ocean wind!) |
 |

A HUGE thanks to Steve’s parents, Bill and Ruth and his sister Janel for putting this all together. I am very lucky to have such a great family that I married into!
