Spencer and I spent a week at the Oregon Coast with my family this month. We rented a beach house in Rockaway Beach and were able to all stay under one roof. The coast has always been a favorite family vacation spot for the Frederiksens, and it was so fun to be back. Dad got a new kite of course, as is tradition, and we had lots of fun getting pulled around by the 200lb string limit.
We visited Flamingo Jims (a favorite childhood souvenier shop),
we played on the beach, hiked around, visited the Tillamook Cheese factory (a favorite of mine), we went tide-pooling and sea glass hunting, we played games and did puzzles, and hung out in the hot tub. We had 2 campfires on the beach complete with s'mores, music and dancing, and we went crabbing and clamming again. We even made homemade clam chowder. The kids loved uncle Kyle for his pinata party straight from Mexico, and uncle Spencer's "Steve", short for "Stevafina" puppet shows were a big hit as well. We visited a light house, shopped a little, and Spencer and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary on the 19th. We stayed up late most nights talking and just being together. I'm so grateful for my family and for the best friends that they are to me. Welcome home Kyle, and it was so fun to see you all!

your slideshow looks great...i already want to go back!
I just realized...is that you singing? I was remembering the cute little harmony we used to sing to that song. You rock! (and I have to assume it's you playing the guitar, too)
How fun. We live in Portland and go there often. We went to the cheese factory a couple of weeks ago too. We should do something next time you come up here! I miss you. Congrats on the new baby. You are going to be a great momma. -Kristan
