Seaside, Oregon

Well, I have been dying to get to the ocean ever since we moved to Portland, and finally, neither my brother nor I had anything planned on a Saturday. It was a cold, rainy, overcast day (oh wait, that's like every day in the winter) but we just bundled up and played anyway! I am so glad we went!

The back seat

Here is Jude in his spider rain jacket. He keeps a little car in that pocket at all times, in case of a boredom emergency

Mein Bruder with his boys, Isaac and Joseph

Joseph wrote his name in the sand. You read it right, "Toseph"

Isaac before he took his boots off

crab shells are all the rage

Seagulls and children begging for food

Joseph made this train track in the sand, and the little boys were going CRAZY pretending to be trains

FAVORITE PICTURE EVER OF ISAAC!

Joseph's sandcastle. It was largely made up of crab shells and no one dared step on it for fear of cutting their foot open and getting sand in their wound.

So, there it is folks! A successful and sandy trip to the beach.
