Riding our bikes to 7-11 and other regular summer activities

Kian got a coupon for a free slurpee at 7-11 on 200 west and after the fourth of July reminded me of this daily. Finally gave in and we decided to ride our bikes to 7-11 to get the slurpees.



It was a hot day and the slurpees were great.


Riding back home was a bit traumatic as my bike had a flat tire, Darian's "legs hurt" and Kian said he never wanted to ride his bike again by the time we got home. I also scarred the boys by taking them cross country skiing this winter but I'm hoping I don't kill all fun activities for them before they grow up.



Another regular summer activity has been taking walks with our cousins, Cyra and Lulu.

Kian's Drawing

Kian drew this and gave it to me. He says it will help me to do all of my work faster. My cooking and cutting and everything.

Newport Coast Aquarium Oregon

Walking to the Aquarium





We brought darian's stroller since he loves it.



We saw crabs--big ones


We touched sea creatures and


Best of all we saw sharks








And my personal favorite: stingrays





Kian took great pictures of us















And we saw them feed the sea otters and when we played in the hot tub later we pretended to be sea otters.

Depoe Bay, Oregon

We spent a week at Depoe Bay, Oregon in a condo overlooking the ocean. It was beautiful.






Eating popcorn and watching the sunset








Walking down the pier to go on a whale watching tour








It was cold and rainy so Darian and I were hiding out eating our sandwiches.


We saw seals


And sea lions





But no whales.
