Last Beach Day for Summer

Auntie Amy's Visit

We had a super fun time having Auntie Amy here for a couple of days. To celebrate the good weather we decided to head to our favorite spot, Seaside, with who else? The Ericksons! Here are a smattering of pictures from that fun day!

Sisters!

When the tide went out it left this funny lake leaving two beaches. It was lots of fun for Alex to play in the water.

Yep, this was the best shot of these two...

Alex kept taking off as though the sea was calling to him...

So cold!

Asher and daddy

Jumping!
And of course the perfect end to a beach day: A nap!

Thanks for coming Auntie! Come again soon!

First beach day of the year!

Aaaah March! How I've missed you! We had such a glorious day today that we took advantage and headed to Seaside. It was warm, sunny, windless and wonderful.

Alex and Seth are pretty much making the same face. Apple doesn't fall far from the tree?

Sand flinging was the goal of the day

I have no idea what we're looking at

Paul and Kris were out on a drive and surprised us at the beach. Alex was happy to have Miss Kwis

Last Beach Day for the Summer

Last Saturday we spent a gorgeous and WARM (if you know Seaside you know that's unusual) day in Seaside enjoying the beach. We're deep enough into September now that we don't expect to have many more beautiful days, so we thought we'd soak up the last bit of summer in one of our favorite places. Here are a few pictures from our day. We hope you enjoy them!

I love this one...

Running from the water!

Beach Day!

Our Memorial Day weekend started out wonderfully with a trip down to Seaside on Friday. It was a beautiful, but incredibly windy day. It didn't stop us from enjoying some time on the sand. Alex loved it most of all. Our last trip to the beach in '08 he was still only crawling. Our little man sure did love running in the sand, picking up ever shell he could find and being chased and thrown in the air by mommy and daddy. Mommy loved taking pictures with her new camera to remember the fun day!

He ran, and ran, and ran some more. He was so incredibly happy running in the sand!

Watching the sand fall through his fingers. Super cute, except he was really concerned about how dirty his hands got. He really doesn't like dirty hands!

What a fun day!
