Every year, my sister in law comes with her family from Indiana and makes the long journey to Oregon. This year, her husband actually got to come which was super exciting. A lot of times, her husband’s work will decide to change things so that he can’t actually make it.

Once he actually arrived, we knew we wanted to get some family photos!

We made the long journey to the beach to play, and oh my did we play!

First had a break for lunch, hiding behind a sand dune so the hugely windy weather didn’t blow us down the beach. Even in Oregon, in the middle of the summer, it may be overcast but the sun will still shine like crazy. It was SO SUNNY but we made it work.The Long Journey :: alifecondensed.comAfter we got a picture of everyone being clean, we let the kids go crazy. And go crazy, they did!The Long Journey :: alifecondensed.comRight next to us were a group of 20 year olds. They were trying to do a group of selfies, but there were too many of them and their arms weren’t long enough. So I went over to help. They also wanted to get some jumping photos since I was taking the picture.

This made the little kids want to do a jumping shot too! It didn’t work so well, but the results are hilarious!The Long Journey :: alifecondensed.com The Long Journey :: alifecondensed.comThen, the next day we had some fun in a local forest.
