Fun at Seaside






So after the all nighter all 3 kids slept the whole way to the beach which was so peaceful! I really wanted to take them to Seaside because that's where some of my best memories are from being a young girl. Every year my grandparents rented a house in Cannon Beach for a week so we would go, bring friends, go horseback riding, beach bike riding and Grandpa would take us into Seaside to ride bumper cars, tilt-a-whirl and play mini golf. He would also take us to Ter Hars to buy a swimsuit which got pretty comical as we got older...he kept insisting on one pieces and we wanted anything but! If you remember from other posts Jamie really does not like the sand so he would have been happy staying on the boardwalk but of course the kids wanted to go straight for the beach! We brought all the sand toys, swimsuits (it was beautiful at the beach although once you hit the water it's like you can't even feel the sun it's SO cold!). We let the kids play for a couple hours, then made our way to the aquarium to feed the seals and look at octopuses. The kids loved the rides...and we of course filled up on fish and chips, ice cream and elephant ears. We left just in time for Jalen to have his second nap...met Papa and Grandma at Red Robin on the way home and called it a day...a very LONG day! Early to bed!
