Opal creek!!

Spent the day in gorgeous country and company!!

Kitchen updates!!!

It has been a slow go but we are slowly upgrading our kitchen. I resurfaced out cupboards last year and we also upgraded our appliances. 

This is so you remember those dark counters we USED to have. 

Today is the day !!! We are finally at the stage of new counters!!! 

And a new under mount sink. 

Still have some more work to go but wow!!, looking good so far!!!

And finally the backsplash tile is installed. 

And only the grout and finishing touches are left!!

Finished! 💕💕💙👍🏻

The Beachside experience!!

We went camping at a great campground!! The beach is RIGHT out your door!! 

And we were blessed with amazing weather and camping at the same time as some friends!! 

We had such a great time at the beach!!

The first day was allot of sand time!! So relaxing!!!

The kids ride scooters and played for hours!!!

Then it was S'mores!!!

We also went to Newport...

And finished the day with ice cream...

Yum!!

Next up was a trip to Florence!!! On the way down the coast we did some geocaching!!

And in Florence we stopped for chowder at Mo's!!
