We had the opportunity to go to the Oregon coast for a mini-vacation. One of the senior partners at Marc's work has a beach house in Manzanita. This is a small quiet town 14 miles south of Cannon Beach. The house was 2 blocks from the beach, 3 blocks from the main street, and designed perfectly for lots of friends and kids. The Phillips, Koethkes, and Lockbeams joined us for the weekend. We each had our own rooms and the great room was completely open to feel like you were a part of everything. Christian and Marcus made it golfing and many of us took advantage of some good nap time. One of my favorite things was taking Jacob on a walk in the morning down to the espresso shop. I grabbed a mocha and we sat "chatting" on the beach before starting the busy day. This was truly a relaxing trip, even with wee-little ones!
We spent many hours at the beach. The kids loved digging and building in the sand, but running from the waves a favorite. As the kids got braver about going into the water, the moms got a bit more nervous! Above, Jackson is doing his "happy dance".
Which way do we run?
Jackson said the sand tastes great!
Ella and Jase running for their lives. Jackson...wondering why his feet are sinking.
This is not a great family pic, but I thought it was cute with Ella's tush in the back!
Just in case they get married some day!
Even Jacob and Hudson enjoyed themselves!
A little down time in front of a movie never hurts.
