Beach Trip!!

The only other time we've ever taken Grady to the beach was when he was just a few months old!  He slept on Keith's chest in the front pack.  We were really excited to take him to the beach and watch him experience it - we were not disappointed!

Grady loved the sand (big surprise)!


We were unprepared parents - we didn't even bring a little shovel!  He found shells to dig with.


We tried to make some very simple sandcastles by filling the bucket up and turning it over.


Grady liked to use is face to knock the castles down.  Yuck.  Sand in his mouth and nose.  He didn't seem to mind.

It took some creative and high energy parenting to get him off the beach... but we had lunch at Mo's in Lincoln City, and then we headed down to Newport to walk along the boardwalk.  Gotta stop for some salt water taffy (adults) and a rainbow sucker (toddler)!


Look, Mom! No hands!
