We might be crazy. Scratch that- we are crazy! We planned a long weekend at the coast with our friends the second weekend of March and had a wedding to attend the fourth weekend in March. These were bookend weekends to my parents coming to visit- post coming soon….. All three weekends went well. I am amazed at how well our kids do with changes to routine and schedule. They can really roll with it.

Our first weekend was at Cannon Beach with the Wade and Smith-Crosby families. We all have 3 year old daughters with younger brothers. 6 adults and 6 kids in one house on the Oregon coast for the spring could be a mess, but we lucked out with gorgeous weather. The kids had fun spending a few days together because they usually only see each other for an hour or two. Sloane could play in the sand all day and we love hanging out on the beach so it works well. We got one night in of game playing for the adults and Telestrations was a big hit again. All three families are hopefully this will be an annual event!

Our second beach weekend was not as lucky with weather but was full of love and celebration. We were in Lincoln City to go to Jay and Mandy’s wedding. We had a cute little house with a gas fire place. Our friends, the Lembos and Booms were a few blocks away in condos with a pool so Sloane got the go swimming twice. The ceremony involved a muddy hike, dubbed muckity-muck by Sloane. She was not a fan of muckity-muck. Soren found it relaxing and fell asleep in the carrier. The ceremony was lovely and I think most people could hear it even though Soren did his screech/talking/singing through most of it. Sloane was enamored with Lila during the reception, and Soren captured the hearts of a few new people.
