Cannon Beach

We escaped for the Oregon coast and spent a couple of days in Cannon Beach.  The weather was perfect.  Beautiful sunshine and soft, soft sand made for a memorable time on the beach.  We strolled through the town, played and picnicked at the park, made sandcastles and hunted for treasures on the beach.  We bought a kite (a bright pink one--guess who picked it out?) and flew it, Max chased the seagulls, we ran in and out of the water and admired Haystack rock.  Carmen asks if we can go there all of the time.  Yes, we will certainly be back.

Practicing being a monkey.

Beach time!
Shovel, buckets and even a seal.

 
 


 
Sleepy time!
Do not let them fool you, there was little sleeping to be had the entire trip! 

 

This however was real sleep--two tuckered out kiddos.


Kite time!



 
 More beach time--digging and displaying treasures.
I think I still have bits of crab shell in my pockets.


Thanks for fun time, Cannon Beach. 
See you next time!

F-A-M-I-L-Y

We were lucky to spend some much anticipated family time over the last couple of weeks.  We had a special visit from Auntie Tasha and cousin Zane all the way from Morocco and Grandma and Papa Son from Arizona.  We enjoyed every moment we could with the limited time.

Getting creative with cousin Zane:
