The Growing Halgrens: Daddy's Birthday!

For Daddy's Birthday, I took him to Newport (Oregon Coast), where we visited the Aquarium, ate at the Rogue Brewery, and then played on the beach. I LOVED daddy's Birthday! We were all EXHAUSTED after, and we wished we had planned to stay overnight because we didn't want to leave!

At the Aquarium, daddy and mommy forgot my stroller, so they had to rent this crazy looking contraption!

A nice woman took a family pic for us, but it was REALLY windy, so we all look a little strange!

These were the scariest crabs we have ever seen! They were HUGE and had GIGANTIC legs!!!!

My mom is SO wierd!!!

Me and daddy forging the wind!

I was SO tired after running in and out of the water, and picking up crabs and rocks and shells!

How cool are these. I even recognize jellyfish pictures now, and I can say jellyfish!

There was a lighthouse, but I don't know if that's what we were looking at here!

Daddy had more guts than me and touched Spongebob's friends! Eeeww!!!

Here's mommy trying to get a kiss from me!

Another touching picture!

Check out this chunky otter. He was huge!!

Mommy didn't realize the flat trail was right next to her, and she followed me and daddy through the rocky cave with our 4x4 stroller!

I LOVE fish!!!!!

This part was really cool! There were sharks and sting rays and fish, and all sorts of sea things floating all around you!

Daddy took this pretty pic of the sun coming through the aquarium!

A blurry but cute pic!

Wow guys, that was awesome. Now, give me some more cookies!

Yep, that's my daddy!

Wait, I think I can fit one more cookie in my
mouth!

We didn't know where we were going!

After renting this cool stroller, I didn't end up riding in it much, so I thought I might as well help push it!

I was jumping and dancing in these pictures. It was really funny!

Another pic of me dancing!

Yee haw!!!

Daddy looks as serious as his old sea turtle!

I don't think this turtle liked us on his back!

So we gave him a kiss to make up!

Anyone wanna go surfing? I bet we could sneak this board out of here! Check out my hands, I was ALMOST doing the "hang loose" sign.

Daddy wants to go surfing, but the pink sort of turned him off!

Mommy wanted a cute picture of me by this stream, but I kept just walking in to it.

This is where we ate lunch! It was really yummy!!!

Wow, these things are big! We thought we were going the wrong way, because you walk right by where they are working!

My lunch came on this cool frisbee, so I turned it into a drum!

And then a hat!

Here are some of the beach pictures. The wind didn't even bother me! It was only bad when we were on the dunes because the sand would fly at you, but on the water it was really fun!
