Well, last week the family, the grandparents, and the brother's girlfriend had a nice vacation to Seaside, Oregon! It was sooo nice to get away from work, and in Mason's word's "reality"! This post is a picture documention of my experience there!
Here islovely sandcastle made with love by Hannah and Kortnee. We named our kingdom "ocean Beach" because on the way to Seaside from the airport, there were a ton of signs with arrows saying "ocean beaches" and it bothered me because there's no specific town specifially called "ocean beach" and so, we named out kingdom that!
UNO! We played uno quite a bit, and I loved this picture which I took! I dominated sometimes, and sometimes I didn't! And no...I didn't cheat! Due to the rainy weather, games were played quite often!
This is another kingdom which Kortnee and I created! This one's named the "fresh linen fortress"! We made a fort over our beds, but there weren't many spare blankets, so we used sheets, and chairs, and mops, and hair tyes...and TP to make the sign! It was my favorite! When I woke up in the morning, one of the mops had fallen down, and so the "fresh linen" was pretty much acting as a blanket right on top of me!
Here we are enjoying being rulers of out kingdom!
I'm an official adult, and I still play with my food! But how can you deny that this isn't a masterpiece?!? It should be displayed in some famous food artist's museum!
Seals! A few years ago some of the Morrison's friends took us to a place in Astoria where you can watch seal wars! They fight for spots on the dock, and can sometimes get a little violent! You can see some of their battle wounds when you're closer! ha and they also put on operas or something!
The Ballards were also there! We did a few things with them. One day Taylor, Kortnee, and I wandered downtown for a little while, bought some perfume from our friend named Hungry, and then we walked Taylor home! It was fun! And now we smell Heavenly!
We stopped on our way to take Tay home and rode some swings on the beach!
Kortnee, and Taylor enjoying the swings!
Me and a dead jellyfish...haha We found a few dead jelllyfish...and seagulls on the beach. I posed with one...but shamefully I must admit that the name of my friend has escaped my mind's memory!
We enjoyed some yummy sorbet from Costco in pineapple bowl dealios! Very yummy...especially while in the hot tub!
Some cool mirror in Canon beach in a toy store!
Kortnee and I did our nails! Mostly Kortnee did our nails! Aren't they cute! Thanks Kort!
We also did some masks!
And then ate the cucumbers?!? Ha ha not really...it's just a dillusion!
Here's a lovely shot of a lovely purse which I purchased from a lovely import store! I forgot where it was made...somewhere very lovely I'm sure!
We bought matching hats! And you're jealous...admit it!
And then we wore them to the beach!
My parents brought some tie dying stuff! Me mason, kortnee, and my dad all made shirts, and this is Kortnee and one of my hand's afterwards! I didn't get a picture of all of our shirts afterwords...but they were all sweet!
Mason loved "driving" the wagon to the beach...and none of us complained...who wants to drag a wagon through sand anyways?? Only Mason! He was doing 360s and all sorts of stuff with it!
Here Kortnee and Hannah are on the beach...looking as sexy as ever!!
And last but not least....here's a braclet I made! Thanks so much to Kortnee for teaching me the art of braclet making, and for being super patient with me, and fixing my MANY mistakes!!
As you can see..... Wednesday August 5th not only did we all master the art of creating flower clips, we also had the most amazing sleepover in recorded history haha
KaiLani + Flower Clips = B-E-A-utiful!
awwwwwww!!! 
I heart Kiley!
Cari and Hannah
So cute!
Good news! I finally got a job! I work for Grigg Apiaries, and I've worked there for about a week and a half. I've been waiting to post about it until I got a picture of where I work, but things are always so crazy out there and I always forget to. Grigg Apiaries is a bee/honey farm (I don't really know) and right now we're in the middle of honey season. So, we spend most of our days extracting the honey from the hives. I'm the only girl employee, so I am "Scratcher Girl" in the warehouse. I get the lovely job of standing next to the convor belt and scratch the wax off the frames so the honey will come out. It is THE most boring job in the world, I basically just stare at the back wall all day long! Some days if we are all out of honey we have to go out into the fields and pull honey. This is where my first picture comes in.. Everytime I tell someone that I work for a bee farm they ask "Do you have to wear that sweet suit thing??" The answer is sort of. We don't have a full on suit, but see that lovely hat plus net up there? Oh yeah, I get to wear that all day long in the heat. Yuck. So in the field I'm "Gas Board Girl". I go around wo the hives with these lids that have been sprayed with Bee Go, which gets them out of the hive. I guess it makes the bees really sick, which makes total sense, because if I get it anywhere near my eyes they start to water like crazy. So those are my two responsibilities out there. Plus helping clean up and filling barrels with honey. So all in all, it's a pretty nice job. It's always really hot and long, we work most days like eight or nine hours. But it's alright, I like it.
PS.. I like this background whoever chose it... Good choice!
