Cups embracing the ocean on our first trip to the beach after getting there right before dinner. . .
The view on a clear day. . .
Sunset after dinner. . .
Gofres asked to stay up until 11:30 for low tide - when whole sand dollars can be found.
Cups testing out the water. . .
It was foggy and a little chilly the next morning, but that did not keep Cups out of the water. Cups and Gofres had been to the beach and back on their own earlier that day.
Cups keeps hope that Santa would bring her a dog one day.
It's sweet seeing her with dogs. For now her realistic expectation is to get a dog when she is on her own.
Visiting the Cannon Beach Farmers' Market Tuesday afternoon. . .
Grandma treated the kids to rides in Oceanside. Tilt A Whirl is Cups' favorite ride "in the whole world." She had only been there once, and she took us there like a guide.
Outside the Tom's store - and many of you have visited this beautiful area this summer, too!
By the time we got back from playing in town, tide had come in again.
We managed to find sand to play on/in.
On the morning of our third and last day there. . .
The whole family got down to the beach to play after lunch. Thank you, Grandma, for making us yummy food the whole time!!
Cups showed me where to find tide pools, and she spotted a sea star along with many sea anemones, mussels and snails. No hermit crabs that day though.
Nibbles (aka Princess) sits this way when Grandma is away or when she knows people are leaving. I cracked up when I found Cups posing. Thank you very much, Grandma, for a wonderful mini vacation!!!
