4th of July fun in Neskowin!

We had a wonderful few days in Neskowin with my extended family! At times, there were 30 adults and children! It was crazy, but so fun to see everyone and hang out with all our cousins. We went on adventure walks, to the beach, on golf cart rides, did craft projects, and played with our cousins. The highlight was being on the best float ever in the Neskowin Parade - "The Family Circus". Caden was a lion, Emma was a giraffe, and I was an elephant! Such a great time and lots of memories made. Thanks Nana and Boppa for a wonderful time!

And Emma too!  Just like big brother Caden :)

Caden found a pirate sword from a few years ago!  He was a pirate for the rest of the day

Caden and Emma made these shirts - so fun!
