Time for a little R&R

So I now have a job. Thank you Lord! However, Mom and I have been planning a trip to the beach for THREE months! We needed to breathe! Life kept interfering. Finally, we decided this was it - 'cause next week I can't! So, Tuesday we packed up the kids and headed out. We were so excited to go! First up, a stop at the Tillamook Cheese Factory. The kiddos had never been, and I figured it would be a five minute stop (plus ice cream cones!) The kids shocked me. They had a ball, and we were there for over an hour, watching them package cheese.
Next it was time for some two year portraits. I am blessed - I have a photographer in my Mom whose motto is "Have camera, will travel." So, I wanted something a bit different for this portrait session. And what could be better then sunglasses and the beach?! Our little bathing beauty. Excuse me, you are in my light.

Momma's boy. He started giggling and dancing from the second he got on the beach, and had to be dragged off screaming. I am so glad he got that part of me!


My little mountain goat. There were other pictures that showed more of him. However, this is a pose I see so often at home - on chairs, tables, the entertainment center, cribs....etc that I just HAD to pick this one!


And we are all true Oregonians. We were at the beach - shorts and sweatshirts, but we still dipped our toes in the ocean! W and B dipped a bit more then their toes, however! They did a couple of nosedives, giggled, and got right back up. A fun day for all, with great pictures to show for it. Can I go back tomorrow?

Isn't it a shame that the water doesn't get warmer for swimming? Looks like you had a lot of fun with you kids. Gotta love Summer!
