As I've mentioned, several times... actually to the point of almost bragging... our weather has been wonderful. Not only was is sunny today, it was near 90 so we took off this morning and hit the beach instead of sweating it out here at the house. The kids had a blast and it was great to just sit around for several hours. If by sit around I mean we walked around, built sand castles and almost, literally, had to drag the kids out of the ocean then
yah, we sat around. It was so great and a fairly uneventful day!
These kids have some crazy hops!
We decided to grab one quick family pic after we took the kids over the Astoria Megler bridge, which Karleigh was not too fond of. She's going through this weird afraid of heights and doubly afraid of heights if it's over water thing. We actually had to carry her down from the river viewing tower earlier in the day because she couldn't handle seeing the water below her through the metal stairs. However, back to the bridge... once we were across she admitted that it was a pretty great bridge and was fine as we went back to the Astoria side. Rylan's not looking his finest in this pic. He was very tired and said his tummy hurt. He was asleep in his car seat before I buckled myself in.
Not 45 minutes down the road I felt him kicking my seat and I turned around to look at him and saw... if you're a mom, the look. The look that makes you blurt out "Oh man, he's going to throw up." Jim pulled off the road instantly but it was too late. He threw up on himself and his seat. I don't like puke. In fact, I haaaaaate puke but on puke level of 1 to 10, I would say this was only a 2. He had had some Dr. Pepper when we were leaving Seaside and they never get bottled soda, fountain soda on occasion, but both of them complained about how carbonated it was. We're thinking that was the problem because after getting cleaned off and drinking some water he said he felt a lot better and looked it too. That was about it for excitement so, though I detest puke, it wasn't bad at all.
See? Back in town and all better!

I, the woman who says TAKE PICS OF EVERYTHING, is pretty glad you skipped the puke pic. :)
The jumps and the family shot? Perfection though. Almost 90 is a horror. I hate this newer weather. BLECH. (whine whine whine. you can take the extra numbers on the thermometer if you like the heat so much. ;) )
OMGoodness, the hopping pics!!! all of them, so crisp and clear, wish we were there!!! the best kind of "sitting around!"
so jealous... not of the puking! But the weather and the beach definitely! We have a manmade swimming hole with a "beach" about 15 miles from here - woohoo! To bad it's only been in the 60's...
Dont be shy to share beach pixs, please do. I miss the beach so much it helps to see others enjoying it!
