Beach Beauties

We got up Saturday morning and decided we were going to head to the beach. It had been up for discussion for a few days but we had never gotten anything ready. And we had a deadline. Micah had a dance class in Sherwood, which takes about 10 minutes to get to and it was on the way to the beach, so we didn't want to have to come back to get all our stuff together. So in one hour, we got everything ready to go, got showered and headed to dance class and then the beach. This is Neskowin Beach. Our GREAT friends the Wilbergers showed us this beach two summers ago. We missed them on this awesome trip. It was not to hot and it was blue skies--hardly heard of in Oregon. The weather combined with my awsome kids and husband really did make for the perfect day! The water is extremely cold on the coast! Not like them Florida or California beaches. Micah mostly just ran away from the water! She is like her dad and gets extremely cold, fast in cold water. Wave Jumping! He was definitely the bravest by farr. Deeken Chill'n in the Backpack. This is when he discovered he could look down through the leg holes. He just kept staring down there so I thought I would take a pic of it. She can skip really good in the water, not so hot out. I wonder why. Deeken And daddy He is just contemplating what to do next. He really loved the beach. This is the best pic, if you could see her face better, you would know she had a great time running from the waves. Deeken and mommy. Looking awesome in this pic, but I won't complain to much or John won't take anymore of me. I should feel lucky I got one. Borther and Sister. I said the other day to know. " Deeken is going to be your bestest buddy ever." His reply, "I know mom, but I will always like Micah." She just loves his toes, has since the day he was born. I guess she just had to feel what they felt like with sand on them. Deeken's first chance to feel the sand. I like this Pic. Can you see Noah showing the waves his muscles? The inevitable sand in the mouth. After we got his mouth cleaned up, he REALLY wanted some watermelon. It ended up all over my pants. Daddy*Daughter time. Sticky sand. It doesn't itch so much right here or right here, but just here.--I can't do Tommy Boy so well--Obviously. I like this pic because you can see both the kids flying their kites. Noah liked running towards the wind so that his kite would start to fall, and then running away again so it would catch in the wind and go back up. What a handsome guy. I like this picture alot. Come on wave, I dare you to touch me. It was the perfect day.
