Oregon Coast Trip

August 10th -- 17th:

Tyson and I headed to the Oregon Coast with my family for a week (Nick had to stay and work - boo).  I was really nervous how Tyson would do in the car, considering the night before he screamed all the way home from dinner at Dave & Busters.  To my surprise, Tyson did amazing!  My mom and I had to take turns sitting in the back and helping him take his pacifier.  Before this Tyson wasn't super good at sucking on the pacifier but by the end of the trip he was a pro.  

Tyson was quite the hit with all his cousins!  I thought for sure he would get old to them but he didn't.  They were all great with him, however, Brittney was especially good.  She would just lay on the couch next to him and rub his belly.

We had really good weather the first couple days, so we had a fire on the beach and made smores.

Most of the mornings, I ended up on the couch with Tyson so that my mom could get some sleep.  The kids would gather around to look at Tyson.

We headed to the Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport.  Tyson slept through most of it but I had to take a few pictures to show him what he missed.

One of the days, we headed to the Devil's Punch Bowl to feed the squirrels.  Hannah showed Tyson and I how to feed them peanuts.

Everyone in my family was such a big help with Tyson!  I owe a super big thanks to my mom and sister in law for all the times they held him, while I was getting ready!  By the end of the week even Uncle Brent and Uncle Ross were comfortable holding Tyson.

On the last day, we went to the beach and hung out.  The kids and Ross had fun building a sand castle.

I didn't really have any expectations of the trip but I am super glad that I decided to go!  Tyson and I had a great time!
