Annual Morris Family Coast Trip {August 12-15, 2015}

It’s always a great time going to the coast. Since we had baby Dallin we were spoiled with a yurt. After sleeping in a yurt it sure is hard to go back to a tent. We spent relaxing days on the beach and fun evenings around the campfire. Avery was in heaven for a few days. Her favorite things all at once: sand, dirt, being out side, cousins & grandparents.

On our way down I would use my phone and take a picture of Dallin to see if he was asleep. He liked looking at himself in the phone. And yes, he’s using his sister’s old pink pacifier.

The first day we got there, we set up and headed down to the beach for the sunset. It was a little cloudy the first night but the kids sure had fun playing on the beach.

Playing games in the truck:

When we spent the evenings by the campfire we often had a visitor, Pepe le Pew aka a little skunk. We were all terrified of getting sprayed.

We took our obligatory family picture the first full day on the beach. Love my little family.

For quite some time, Avery and Maggie had Bryce gather sticks so they could throw them into the water. Bryce is such a patience dad. Pretty sure I was napping on the beach during this time.

One evening the sunset was absolutely AMAZING. I tried to get a good picture but I don’t know that any picture could do it justice. This picture is nothing compared to what the real thing was like!

We went down to the beach one last time before heading out. We had a long drive so we couldn’t stay long but it was worth it to go one last time. Til next year!

Avery fell asleep just moments after we started driving. Nothing wears you out like the beach.

Taylor Swift Concert {August 8, 2015}

For Christmas I got Taylor Swift Concert tickets so I had been waiting all year to go to her concert! She’s by far my favorite artist right now. I have very mainstream taste in music :) Bryce was good to come with me although I think he was pretty excited too.

We parked at Bryce’s office since we can park there for free, and walked to Century Link field. When we were walking there we saw all the semi trucks that bring in the equipment and counted at least 20 semis. You know it’s going to be a good show when it takes that many trucks to haul in the equipment.

We got a bracelet when we went in and during the concert it would light up to the songs. It was pretty sweet.

We had pretty good tickets and it was a great concert. She’s quite the entertainer! She even brought out Russell Wilson and a couple other famous people I didn’t know.

A picture I stole from Taylor Swift’s Instagram account that she got from someone at the concert.

Flight Museum {August 6, 2015}

On the first Thursday of every month the Museum of Flight is free in the evening. We decided to pack some dinner, pick up Bryce from work and head to the museum. It was crowded but fun. Avery loved running through the place and looking at all the planes. We probably shouldn’t just let her run through places so much like this but she has so much fun!
