On Memorial Day weekend we changed things up a bit this year and headed over to Fort Casey for the long weekend...
We took the ferry to Port Townsend for the day...

 We did LOTS of crafting...

SPRING BREAK 2014...

For spring break this year we headed to the Warrenton/Astoria KOA in Oregon with the Pearsons, the Darrahs and another couple who is friends with the Darraghs.  With eight adults and TEN kids we were bound to have a fabulous week!

The first night there we got in a little late so the kids had some snacks by the campfire and then retreated inside...

The next day they were up early and ready to PLAY...

And while all the kids were off playing, us adults had a great time relaxing!
Love what good friends all these kiddoes are!
The following morning we got up extra early and headed to a special beach to do some clam gunning!
The kids LOVED that we drove our trucks right up on the beach!
When we got back we were just in time for tie dye!  I have never been much of a resort or KOA camper but I have to say that this KOA was AMAZING!
Then they were off to the bounce pillow...
LOVE how Miss Maddie takes such good care of Charlie!
Back at camp I set up some crafting time and we painted our shells from the beach...
Then it was back to the beach that evening for some more beach time...
Jack and Jack...

Best buddies, Emily and Charlie...
Miss Mackenzie looking after Charlie...
The next day was Makenzie's birthday so we headed into Seaside for the day for a FUN-filled day!
After the carousal we headed to the aquarium to feed the seals...
Maddie, Charlie, Makenzie and Jack...
The arcade...
The next day we decided to go do some real JONES adventures and set off for Fort Clatsop.  We had not been here since Jack was a baby (summer of 2009)...
I love that our kids get SO excited about Lewis and Clark...
 Sacajawea...
 After all of that exploring we headed into Cannon Beach for lunch at Mo's...
