We were hoping to go to the beach on Valentine's day but there was chance of rain and we didn't want to risk driving out there for the day and have yucky weather. The kids and I ended up going on President's Day and it was beautiful. They had 8:00 a.m. dentist appointments and neither of them had cavities. Yeah! After their dentis appointment we went home and packed. We went to the Pacific City beach, which is our favorite beach. There is a big sand hill and tidepools in addition to a great beach. We took our dog, Tate, to the beach and this was his first time and he loved it. I never realized how many dogs are not on leashes at the beach and one dog tried to bite him and so he got scared of all the dogs after that. The weather was in the high 40's and there was very little wind. We climbed the sand hill first and then looked around in the tide pools. Talia and Tucker wore their swimming suits because I knew that even though it was still winter my children would get wet. I told them only up to their knees and of course they both ended up falling and getting wet up their shoulders. I always bring extra clothes and after they fell in the water they got cold and wanted to change. The water was freezing! My kids were about the only ones in the water. Everyone else was wearing coats and there is Talia and Tucker in the water. They dug in the dirt and went up on the sand hill again. Talia buried Tucker in the sand halfway up the hill and I wasn't able to get pictures because I had stayed down below. I took lots of pictures of the kids and of the beach. I LOVE my new camera. We had to leave by 3:00 to get Talia to swimming practice at 5:45. It was a very enjoyable and we just love living close enough to the beach to come for the day.
Here they are running down the sand hill.
These pictures were taken at the top of the sand hill.
Here is a picture of the sand hill. It is quite the hike up.
Here is the view from the top of the sand hill. It is just breathtaking.
