Seaside Long Ago

Last OCTOBER, yes, I said October, we took a family trip down to Seaside, OR once again. I'm a little behind on my updates, sorry!

We had great weather and a splendid time. I had fun wading in the water with the kids. We liked to walk way out to meet the waves. When one came in, we'd turn and outrun it. Of course it didn't take long for the kids to get sopping wet and sandy, but that's beach life, isn't it?
Jeff enjoyed building sand castles with the kids. Once again I forgot buckets and shovels, but we made do with jello cups and driftwood shovels.
There's never anything quite as fun as a big hole to jump and play in. Hudson is stylin in his shades...
Looking real cool until he accidentally falls into the hole! :)
Here is the first of Jeff's creations. Hudson had a good time smashing the towers as soon as they were built.
Incidentally he also found a love for the taste and texture of sand. We let him take a taste, thinking he'd freak out and not try it again. Much to our dismay, we had to start restraining him from digging into it again and again. The beach was one big buffet for Hudson. That was one messy, gritty diaper after that day! EWE!
Of course we had to make our trip down to the cheese factor at Tillamook, followed up with a bit of Tillamook icecream!

Can't wait to go again...
