Being from Idaho I never really got to spend very much time at the ocean so every summer I look forward to our trip to the beach. So we packed up the girls and talked Russ' brother and his family into coming to the beach with us. We camped at Beverly Beach which is near Newport. Above is Guster, Rowen and Russ enjoying the waves at the beach. Rowen of course ran straight into the water and was quickly shivering!
Sawyer loved the beach and especially eating the sand.
This is Sawyer's camo outfit that she wears at night and early in the morning. It was freezing at night!
We spent one morning at the Newport aquarium. Rowen LOVED it and Sawyer was actually pretty into it too. This is Rowen staring straight into the eyes of a fish.
This is one of the pools where you can touch starfish, sea urchins and sea anenomes. Rowen was timid at first but once she realized they wouldn't hurt her she was all about it. I had to keep my arms wrapped around her to keep her from joining the starfish in the water!
This is cousin Tali and Rowen in the aviary. It was pretty cool, a bird was taking a bath right in front of the girls.
This is Sawyer later that day at camp, I just wanted to show off her Carhartts.
Our young at heart dog... he loves the ocean!
This is Rowen an hour after playing in the sand. I'm not sure how she did this but we call in the Charlie Chaplin!
It was a beautiful day! And it did not rain once while we were there, truly amazing!
The day after the aquarium we had the opportunity to go tide pooling on a very low tide. It was gorgeous, I have never seen tide pools like this! Rowen was in heaven!
Here I am trying my best to hold her up because all she wanted to do was sit IN the tidepools and touch the starfish, etc. She kept saying, "more starfish please!"
Tali, Trevin, Ginny and Emily
This is the best family picture we could get. Two year olds :)
I love this picture! Rowen was just so excited she couldn't take her hands out of the sand and spent a lot of her time in this position. It was so much fun! Thank you Ginny, Trevin and girls for a great trip. We look forward to next year.
