Cannon Beach

Last week, while Ryan was off in New York for some training, the kids and I headed to Portland to visit Grandma and Grandpa. As always, the kids and Grandma and Grandpa, were in heaven just hanging out, and I get a bit of a break.:) Probably the highlight of our trip was going to Cannon beach. We ate a yummy lunch in town. They had the cutest "baby buffet" plate that included cheeses, fresh fruit, crackers, and homemade applesauce. Sadie gobbled it up and Connor had his old standby...cheese pizza. We headed to the "Bruce's Candy Kitchen" next where Connor got gummy worms, I indulged in chocolate covered gummy bears (thanks to Anna who got me hooked on those in college), and Sadie ater half of Grandma's carmel corn. By then we were hoping that the fog would go away, and we headed for the beach. Unfortunately the fog stayed, but we had a blast anyway. Connor built a sand castle and Sadie loved getting in the freezing cold water. You can see her in the photos wearing her new Cannon Beach sweatshirt that Grandpa got her because it was colder than expected. For some reason it seems like kids don't really seem to notice if its cold. Her new little sweatshirt was soaked by the end. We took off around 4pm and you would think that Connor would have been very tired, but he and Grandpa went down to the park when we got back to portland to play some baseball and then to Coldstone Creamery for icecream. What a day!!!
