Beach vacation

We just returned from a weekend vacation at the beach. It was an interesting trip. I had a terrible cold, Collin did not sleep through the night for the first time in weeks, and Avery had her first fever in about 2 years. Ugh. But we did manage to have some fun in between all of that.

Here is Avery on our way to the beach. She was so excited, she had to wear her sun hat the whole way there....


When we got there, it was a beautiful day (60's and sunny)....

It's still whale watching week, so Avery and Jon were on the look out for them. Avery was so excited to use her binoculars again...


They also had a great time running around on the beach...


Trot also had a great time! It was the most exercise he's gotten in a long time...


It was sunny, but really windy at the beach. Once we found a little sheltered place to sit Collin was much happier...



Unfortunately this is the only picture I have of our kids' first bath together! Collin is still not a fan of bathtime, but he is even less of a fan of Avery screaming in his face! She was just so excited...


After a beautiful first day at the beach, the weather turned nasty. The next day was super rainy, windy and cold. But we bundled up and went on a short hike in the state park nearby. We definitely had the trails to ourselves. We have a picture similar to this when we first took Avery on this same hike when she was about 3 months old too....


Love this picture of Avery...


We also made it up to Astoria, OR for the first time. The highlights were an awesome lunch at a little organic cafe, seeing the sea lions...



...seeing the school from Kindergarten Cop....



...and some really pretty views even on a really rainy day.
