cannon beach and seaside

 friday we spent the day at cannon beach and seaside

we started with (second) breakfast from the cannon beach bakery

 then we hit the beach and i showed them haystack rock 

 pretty awesome to bring my 6 kids and amazing husband to the beach 

i got married on just before my 18th birthday 

 best husband in the world

i'm so happy with how life turned out

 we love any chance to play in the water and sand

 she loves being buried 

 happy boy

 mermaid eleanor

 hazel loved collecting seashells

 noah could have stayed in the water all day

michael builds the best sand castles

the kids love helping and decorating 

 haystack rock

 we headed to seaside around lunch time

first things first, we took the kids to the carousel

it was jude's first time 

 we ate lunch at bee bop burgers

 then we got ice cream

all of the kids wanted bubble gum!

 just like their mama

 swings on the beach are a pretty great idea

 we took the kids to the arcade for a few games 

 and stopped by the candy shop

 that evening we went to sunset beach one more time

jude made the beach much trickier than i realized he would

since he can crawl off the blanket and grab handfulls of sand to eat

but it was still fun  

 eleanor's hair really likes the oregon coast

she needs more moisture for her hair than idaho has to offer 

 the kids had a lot of fun playing in the backyard of our rental that evening

 a board game with their dad

luckily henry woke jude up (i wouldn't normally say this) because we were able to go see 

the peter iredale shipwreck at sunset on our last evening on the coast

it was beautiful

and really neat

it was a beautiful evening

and an amazing couple days at the ocean as a family
