We hiked out to the bar and there was this huge pile of the prettiest rocks you've ever seen!! As Sam would say, "It was wowser!" And beautiful!!! The beach was beautiful and full of treasures. Just the kind of place our kiddos LOVE.
Grace particularly loves the beach. Sand is her favorite.
She takes after Hannah...and Sam...and Katie...and Carolyn...
There was a little house built in the sand. All the kids got in it at once but Sam stuck his head in the way and we couldn't get a picture of everyone. That boy loves to have his picture taken!!!
Dad said not to get wet since we were headed to a parade right after the beach. Grace is not a good listener.
We also hiked out to the two lighthouses that are on the bar. It was beautiful!!! Plus it was a jolly good time!
One thing about Astoria (besides that it is cold and rains a lot) is that almost everywhere you go, there is a fabulous view. This is what it looked like from the trail!! FABULOUS.
Lighthouse #1=easy hike. Cyrus wears the baby carrier.
The kids climbed all over the lighthouse. And up any tree they could find. That's just what they do.
Sometimes when we hike Sam just sits on the path or sometimes he decides to hop like a frog. He always adds dimension to our activities. Grace just runs!!!!
Lighthouse #2=much harder hike. I wear the baby backpack.

Astoria looks so great. After you reminded me that that was where you lives, I looked it up online and was amazed at how gorgeous it is there. If it weren't for this stupid bedrest thing, we'd be making a trip to the coast to see you guys.
I so hope we find a the right dental practice opportunity in the Pacific Northwest. I just love it here.
P.S. You got some real gem photos here. Truly awesome. I love the one of you guys hiking through the tall grass. If that was my picture, it'd for sure be blown up huge and be going on my family room wall.
