To The Coast .....AGAIN!

I can't say it enough! I love my new home. I live in the best of both worlds; surrounded by mountains and just a short drive to the gorgeous Oregon Coast. Saturday was a beautiful February day so we took a drive to truly enjoy the sun on the beach. Armed with kites, pails, and shovels we hit the sand. We were able to take Cody for the first time and he LOVED it! We found it quite amusing when he decided he had to catch a sea gull. He would run around and around in a huge circle trying to catch one of the silly birds. When that didn't work, he was content to mark his territory on the sand toys, sand castles and to chase all the other dogs on the beach. When the wind got a little chilly, we decided to explore a bunch of rocks. There were little tide pools in between the rocks where we found star fish, anemone, hermit crabs, and clams plus a bunch of "she shells" and cool stones. Care bear was a little freaked out by the big waves because of our last trip to the coast where she and La-La were with Justin when a huge wave came up at them. By the end of the day, Care Bear was happy being at the beach but that was after spending most of the day on top of Daddy's tall shoulders as far away from the water as she could be! Jaco is getting better and better at our little road trips. As long as he has his DS to play during the boring drive time, he does pretty good! La-La loves the beach and exploring so it was a good day for her, no questions asked.
