Monday, for my birthday, the kids and I drove to the coast for the day. I had some thinking to do and I felt like I needed to be at the ocean..... I needed that cleanse of the waves and the sand. Despite the weather predictions of a high of 62, mostly cloudy and a chance of rain, the day was PERFECT! Blue skies and 70 degrees. Even the water was pleasant, which is rare for the Oregon coast.
The kids had a blast, and Phoebe, my wild child, kept continuously bolting straight for the ocean. Finn has always been the opposite.... and I never realized how much chasing a mama could do until Phoebe started to move. I didn't get a whole lot of relaxing done, as I was chasing her basically non-stop, but it was a gorgeous day and everyone left tired and happy.
Here are a few pictures I managed to snap while I wasn't in chase-mode!
Pin It Now!
Love the photos! You made me laugh describing chasing Phoebe. Damon is the exact same way!! Dmitri is so cautious...sigh. At least it's never boring!
ReplyDeleteP.S Happy belated birthday!
ReplyDeletenow i wonder who you would be chasing??? Lovely photos, I wish I was at the shore.
ReplyDeleteFinn looks so grown-up... And Phoebe is adorable. You make me so jealous! I want to live near a beach! We're heading to the lake next week for some downtime, but it's not quite the same as the ocean.
ReplyDeletelooks AWESOME! :)
