We spent four days and three nights at the beach with the kids this past week in honor of their birthdays. There were sand and waves and cake oh my... We had a blast! I don't know who was more tired the kids or us. We stayed in a one bedroom hotel with a kitchen and swimming pool in Seaside, OR. We visited Haystack Rock in Cannon Beach, Battery Russell in Warrenton, the Aquarium, the Arcade, the Carousel, several toy shops and of course the Candy Man in Seaside. Kaine loved swimming in the pool, dipping his toes in the ocean, aimlessly wondering the toy stores, and checking out the tide pools. Lilia couldn't get enough of the sand, she loved the pool and I think the carousel was her favorite. We made many memories that I hope I never forget. Our children are one year older and well I am not yet sure at 1 and 9 they are wiser, they certainly know how to make their parents happy.
She loved the sand

What can we say he loves the water

This was one of my proudest moments yet with Lilia.
I love how happy she is!

The Arcade, the look on Kaine's face says it all.
