Coos Bay! (or as Fisher says, "Booooooo-Bay!)

We've arrived in Coos Bay--our new home for the next four years. We were very sad to leave our home in Newport but, our new place in Coos Bay is starting to feel more and more like home with each box unpacked.

Packing, packing, packing....boxes, boxes and more boxes

Loading up the truck!

One-way to Coooooos Bay!

Baby Hauler.

Nana & Papa came to visit today and we spent the afternoon walking around Shore Acres Park. What a gorgeous place! Sprawling lawns, beautiful flowers and incredible views of the coast--such a great place for an afternoon walk. Fisher had a blast running around the gardens--we're already looking forward to going back again!

What a face...

He loved the fountain! At the end of the walk we let him throw in a few coins...

Strike a Pose...

Just had to touch all of the flowers....

"Let me in! Let me in!"


Bloomin' Lily Pads...

See the little hand reaching into this shot?....(see the flowers quivering in fear??)

So many beautiful plants!

Orchids.

Roses of all kinds.

Stop and smell the flowers.


Turns out Coos Bay is home to these GIANT beetle things. This guy is about an inch and a half long and a half inch wide. Oh God......I can't handle it. Looks like Fisher and I will be staying indoors for the next four years.
