My Birthday at the Beach



For my birthday we headed out to the Oregon Coast for a family weekend of fun, exploration and food. It was a blast and everything I hoped it would be. We took a little Jacobs family photo at the fresh water park after our day of adventures.



We stopped at my favoriate fish and chips shop and got halibut and big cut fries and then headed to the park for some blue grass on the beach. Jack loved the fish, fries and the music.

Jack was dancing around to the music and then would clap at the end of the set.

I just loved getting to sit and relax and enjoy the good food, music and entertainment of our little man.

Here is Amelie back at the house in her cute little poka dot "pink wale" outfit. It was perfect for our beach weekend. Amelie loves to sit up and stretch her legs. Here she was able to stand up pushing off the back of the couch. I am amazed by how strong she is.

On Saturday morning we headed out to the beach for a long walk in the sun. At 8am it was already 70 and perfectly still. No sandcastles or surfing but lots of exloring and rock skipping in the waves. Jack would find the rocks and dad would skip them out into the surf.



Jack loves being with daddy and they are quite the pair. Our walk on the beach gave Jack lots of things to explore. He did however show a healthy fear of the water and waves. He tried going out and wadding the in the water and he cried when the waves would get close. God's creation can be a little scary while still being majestic.



By 10:30 it was 75 and really sunny at the beach and the weather could have not been more perfect for our long walk, some lukewarm coffee and the sand between our toes. Thanks family for a very happy 29th birthday.
