Journaling from the Kids

BRADLEY:
The Oregon Coast Trip
What I loved about our trip was every thing.  Some of the things were cratere lake wow that was bluer than the sky.  It was so cool!!!  I also loved sleeping in the Redwoods.  Those trees are tall!!!!!!!!!!!  It was really cool when we drove through the tree.  I really loved the Tidepools those were awesome  I saw crabs, 2 baby lobsters, 2 baby octopus, a few tropical fish, sea urchins, tons of starfish, musselss, and sea anemones.  We saw a bunch of whales and an awesome light house.  I really loved the sea lions.  They were really loud!!!  The shipwreck was even cooler than I imagined.

LUKE:
One thing that stood out to me was when we went to crater lake which was cool because it was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo blue.  I also loved when we stopped for dinner and we practiced cart wheels and found a baby frog.  I really loved when we went to the tide pools.  I loved when we ate pizza in the tent and wached a movie.  I really liked when we crossed into washington and went to "Pigs and pancakes" and the food was not very filling.  Then we went to the hotel and went swimming it was really fun.  Then we went to bed.  I really liked when we went to the tillamuc cheese factory and ate some cheese and ice cream.  I really liked this trip soooooooooooooooooooo Much  I wish we could go again

So a lot of people will tell you about the main parts of oregon like the beaches and stuff but I want to tell you more about the less talked about things that happened on our trip.  So first, on the way we kept seeing the same car over and over.  I called it the stalker car. We saw it when we got to the fair grounds.  Anyways on the first night we stopped at this ghost town fairgrounds.  And apparently in Oregon you have cereal for dinner so thats what we did :)  We ate breakfast/dinner and then everyone just started doing cartwheels.  Then I found this adorable little frong that was the size of a dime.  Inamed him Freddy.  Then another day we stopped at the creamery.  We got to cheese taste while we were there.  They actually had some pretty good cheeses  Then dad bought us some really yummy and filling icecream.  Some of the best i have tasted.  But I was kind of stupid to eat cheese and ice cream since they're both loaded with milk.  I did not feel good that night.  Another fun thing was when me and mom went to walmart.  It was really fun to spend time with mom :).  Another night we got pizza and brought it back to the redwoods.  We ate it in our tent and watched a movie in the tent.  It was super squishy with everyone trying to get in a spot where we could all see dads phone but it ended up being really fun!  And that pizza was some of the best pizza I've ever had and I'm usually very picky about pizza.  Going to the beaches was really fun too.  At the last one we went to jack did not want to go anywhere near the water.  So me and him went over to the rocks and talked.  He's super fun to talk to :)  One last thing I enjoyed throught the whole trip was, whenever we went through a tunnel or over a bridge dad would yell "Hold your breath" and everyone would try to hold their breath and not breath before we got out of the tunnel  We would also roll down the windows and dad would honk the horn.  It was super fun!!  I absolutely loved our trip and wish I could tell you more about it but my arm hurts :)

NOAH:
I liked the tied pools beacse of all the croabs and star fish and me and brad saw a octopoos and I picked a crab up and it pinched me.

CHARITY:
I had such a fun time in Oregon.  I loved sleeping in the REdwoods!!  The trees were so pretty!  I remember our dinner that night: orange chicken and potato salad from walmart :) it was great!  I had a bladder infection and that was miserable.  I also REALLY loved driving through the big Redwood tree.  Spending the rest of the day in the Redwoods was awesome.  I also really enjoyed the face rock Cafe.  They had the best ice cream and the best cheese!  I got cookie dough and it was beyond amazing!  I also really really loved the stop we made at Newport.  I loved it because of the sea lions!  They were so incredible to see!  Their barking and fighting was cool to watch.  Another thing I loved was going to the Tillamook factory because they had delicious cheese and ice cream not as gooda st the cafe though.  The last thing I really enjoyed was the tunnel beach.  We saw the PRETTIEST beach Ever!  We found a bunch of starfish and cool geodes.  Also lots of mussels.  Oregon was an amazing trip!
