emily visits...

My 20 year old cousin Emily came out the first week of August to visit all of our family. She stayed with us for a few days and my parents for a few days. It was definitely most I've done in a consecutive week this summer, besides when I was on family vacation. We ate out a lot, went to the beach for a day, went to the zoo, went and say "South Pacific" at the Keller, she and my mom went to Ft. Vancouver. Here are a few pictures from our adventures.

Tuesday - The Beach. Cannon Beach and Astoria
