The Beach, the beach, we're goin' to the BEACH!


Corey and I learned early in our parenting years (like 4 years ago) never under estimate the day trip to the beach. We live 90 minutes away from the lovely Oregon Coast. Oh yeah...

With Corey working 4 10's, we went to the beach last Friday (avoiding crowds, traffic and all the hassle of packing and unpacking- let alone paying for meals and a hotel.)


Our children are so innocent, sweet, and LOVE being with us constantly that Corey and I are living up these years.

We went to Arcadia Beach on HWY 101 just south of Cannon Beach. We stayed from noon to 4:00. What the heck do you do for 4 hours at the beach? Let me elaborate. We:

Played with some beach/sand toys,

Dug in the sand,


a giant pit or HOLE,


** WHAT THE HECK!!!??? My picture FLEW to the top. ***


Shoved/locked our kiddos in it (while Corey and I tanned the rest of the day/or until they managed to free themselves)

Did some sandy somersaults,

Played some ball in the sand,

Running, jumping and splashing in the waves!

Catching some rays, lovin' the sun!

Here we are, packed up after 4 hours in the sun ~ a perfect day!

After cooking at the beach, we went and played arcades in Seaside, although the boys' highlight was riding the train.

Never, NEVER, under estimate the day trip to the BEACH!!
