Thanksgiving and Many "Firsts"

Oh how I enjoyed Thanksgiving this year. It was such a blast. Our family decided to go to the beach for Thanksgiving. Everyone pitched in and we got an awesome house in Rockaway beach, Oregon for 3 days. It was so fun because we got to stay up late playing games and laughing until we almost wet our pants or threw up! We also went and rode beach bikes (one of our favorite things to do), went to the Tillamook Cheese Factory, and had a bonfire on the beach and had smores and ate lots and lots of food.....and then ate some more.

Just a few of the most memorable moments were
- Toilet flooding on Thanksgiving
- Mason playing the game "Things" and answering the question: Things you shouldn't say to your father....lets just say it starts with "sh" and ends with "it". He didn't understand why we were laughing so hard that we couldn't breath. He was so literal.
- ABC game during bonfire on the beach. Dad and Zach had a hard time remembering their ABC's.
- The old guy taking what seemed like 5 years to fit the beach bikes and tell us all the safety protocols.

Be warned...I have a buttload of pictures. And I took some from my sister because she had some better ones. I love my family and love that we are all so close. It couldn't have been any better!

Thanksgiving outside. It was such a beautiful day at the beach. Never happens!

Ruby loved eating the sand 

And throwing it in my face

Ruby hated this with a passion

Someone...who shall not be named...clogged the toilet on Thanksgiving and poor Kenz found this! 

This kid sure loved the beach
