Scenery to Take Your Breath Away

I always love to go to the coast, the views are spectacular, especially, when the day is sunny and clear. On this particular day, we stumbled across Anderson's viewpoint, where paragliders were jumping off the cliff down towards the beach below...very exciting!

We spent about a half hour enjoying the scenery, and of course, I took lots of photo's.

I loved the flowers shown below, even though they were now in a woody state.

Just look at that view!

Papa held Amelia up so that she could see better.

Happy together!

Next, we went to Cape Meares to see the lighthouse, one of many on the Oregon Coast.

The sky was so blue!

You may notice some of the glass panes in the lighthouse are broken. Earlier this year, two vandals in their early 20's shot at them, causing very expensive damage, and therefore making the top of the lighthouse unsafe for viewing!

Below is the view as we walked down towards the lighthouse.

Once inside, a tour guide shared his knowledge of the lighthouse, it was very interesting.

After the lighthouse, we did go on to other places, but I'll post about them next time.

What a great day!

Look Who Came To Oregon...

So, after a year, our V.I.V.'s (very important visitors) finally arrived. They being, my mum and step-dad David.

We were so very excited to see them, and in preparation, Amelia and I had a lot of fun making a special poster to hold up at the airport. It was decorated with butterflies and a handprint, and tons of sparkly flowers (yes, Amelia is a crafting magpie just like her momma). Here we are in airport waiting with our sign.

My heart was pounding out of my chest as we waited in the terminal, carefully watching all of the passengers from their plane walk towards us, finally it was our special moment, there they were. There's nothing happier than this reunion, Amelia ran right up to my mum, and she didn't know which of her babies to hug first, of course, the little one won by a milli-second, I didn't mind a bit. We all hugged and kissed each other hello. It was just the best feeling on earth.

So, that was the beginning, the best part is, we will be together for six weeks, isn't family the most wonderful blessing in the world?
