Beach

We went to Ocean Shores this weekend for Erika and Laurel's first beach trip. It was a lot of fun! We had decent weather...especially for the Washington coast in February....and really enjoyed spending time with our family. There were plenty of little kids for Erika to run around with and she loved the ocean! The wind didn't bother Erika, although Laurel was not real excited about being in it. Luckily, my grandma volunteered to watch Laurel in the condo while we played with Erika on the beach. She chased the waves, dug in the wet sand, and flew a kite. And, the crisp ocean air wore her out so she went to bed early tonight!

She loved looking at the water.

She much preferred to hang out indoors.

I love the kite flying! And the windy Oregon coast is the perfect place for it! :)

That looks super fun! We're planning on taking an Oregon Coast trip in August, so that made me really excited. Erika will be a beach bum later in life :)
