On Monday our family headed to Cape Lookout to spend a couple days camping at the beach and touring the coast. We had an absolute blast! We arrived at our camping area Monday afternoon and spent the rest of the day on the beach. All day Tuesday was spent splashing in the waves(it was oh so cold!!!) and relaxing in the sand.

Wednesday we packed up camp and took the scenic route home. Here are some of the places we visited.

Cape Meares Lighthouse

This is Sam and David's reflection in the Lighthouse's lenses

The Octupus Tree

The Blue Heron Cheese Company...and petting zoo

TILLAMOOK CHEESE FACTORY!!!!!

Did you know that it takes 10 lbs of milk to make 1 lb. of cheese?

mmmm cheese samples!

Seaside...

There are a million more pictures that I will post another day (I think the computer is getting tired).
All in all it was another successful Henrikson Family Trip!

I never realized how beautiful you are...

This morning I went to rouse Kennedy so she could get ready for swimming. When I came back to her room a little while later she was up and getting dressed. She turned to me and said, "Hannah I never realized how beautiful you are till this morning! I've never seen that necklace before, it's so pretty. And I've never seen that shirt, I really like it. Oh and your socks too! You are so beautiful!" Okay so who doesn't want to be told that every morning? I knew there was a reason why I got up a little early to beautify myself instead of throwing my hair up in a ponytail! This is one of the many reasons why I love Kennedy. She doesnt' hesitate to tell you how great you look!
I LOVE MY JOB!

FHE with the Hardy Family

On Monday the Hardy family came over for a BBQ and a good game of kickball!

The teams were Mom, Dad, Arlee, Stu, Raelynn, and Ainzlee against Me, Sam, David, Isaac, and Luke(although part way through he changed teams).

Ainzlee going for the ball!

Dad getting ready to pitch

After her turn Raelynn spent her time hiding behind the tree.

Ainzlee taking a breather...she was working hard!

Raelynn and I

Stu...running so fast he's just a blur!

Isaac pitching with Arlee on second base(She's a beast when it comes to kickball!!)

After the game we had some yummy chocolate cake!

We're so happy the Hardys now live close by! Hopefully there will be many more fun nights like this to come this Summer!

The Recent Princess Gossip

What's got the Princesses(Aurora, Cinderella, Ariel, Jasmine, Rapunzel, and Snow White) Talking? Well today the awaited invitation arrived for Prince Eric's annual summer ball. Princess Aurora(Kennedy) has received permission from her mother to attend. After opening her invitation Aurora picked up her princess cell phone and began calling the other Princesses to discuss the details.
What are all the Princesses saying? Prince Eric chooses one Princess to dance with all night long. This years picking? They are all sure it will be Belle because she is the prettiest.

Here are snippets of conversations that I(the nosy maid) overheard:
Aurora calling Cinderella: Hey Cindy? Have you been invited to the ball yet? How are the mice? Haha, oh micey micey. Have your pumpkins grown? Oh no! They don't grow very fast and there is only a week until the ball! I'm sure you can buy some at the store. It'll be okay.
Aurora calling Rapunzel:Hello is this Rapunzel? Oh yes, in the boring old tower. Have you got your invitation? You can't go? Your hair is too long and you don't know how to get out of the tower? I'll bring you a ladder and you can climb down. Oh...the witch is ther with you? Sorry, bye.
Aurora's conversation with Eric after hearing that Snow White hadn't been invited:
A:Eric you didn't invite Snow White.
E: Because she isn't pretty
Well I guess Snow White won't be chosen as Prince Eric's dance partner. Sad day!

After mulitple calls to her fellow Princesses, and having to call Ariel a few times because she wasn't answering her phone, the decision that all the Princesses came to is that Belle will be chosen because she is the most beautiful and it is quite certain that Eric has chosen her. Aurora was quite determined to find this out and called the Prince herself! Needless to say Aurora is a little sadened and hopes that Eric will change his mind before the Ball. But as her loyal and comforting maid I told her that there are many other Princes and many more Balls to come!
