My favorite pic of the weekend, yep that's sand and I'm pretty sure he's about to take another mouthful!
Building sand castles
They call this Haystack...I told Josh it was because that's what it looked like...I have no idea though! :)
Outside Bruce's Candy Shop, moments before the sugar induced mania!
Maybe the only time Greyson sat still for longer than 5 seconds
Look at those dimples, such cuties I have. :)
We loaded up early Friday morning with the
Calkin's for Cannon Beach, Oregon. Having never experienced the Oregon coast we had no idea the fun that awaited us. It was a blast, the kids played and played and PLAYED on the beach.
Greyson must have consumed at least a pound or two of sand. Why not? The sandy beaches were so soft and really we found ourselves saying over and over..."this is like Maui, minus the temperature and TONS of people..." It was absolutely beautiful. After about 30 seconds in the water barely reaching your ankles your bones began to ache and a moment longer
hypothermia would set in (no joke). It was hardly a damper on our weekend of fun though. Each night everyone comes out to stoke up a
bone fire right on the beach with a few fireworks here and there. I wish my camera could capture the scene...complete darkness on the beach with the sound of the waves, the
bone fires and moon as our shining light.
The
quaint downtown of Cannon is so lovely. Darling shops and cafes line the streets, Bruce's Candy Shop is a huge favorite and historical site. The fresh salt water taffy they make right in front of you, is delicious!
How is it that's I'm almost 30 and have yet to experience such a wonderful place only a few hours away?? We are already planning next year!

Great pics of the boys! They are adorable! We love Cannon Beach too. It's such a cool little town. We want to head down there next summer!
