Trip to the Beach!

Today we went to the Oregon coast (Cannon beach to be exact) and had such a fun time! We carpooled with some of our friends, Greg, Kirsten and Paxton, and while at the beach met up with several other dental school families. James LOVED playing in the sand (and trying to eat it) and really wanted to play in the water even though it EXTREMELY windy and the water was freezing! Overall I am so glad we went and were able to spend time together as a family and with our friends. I took lots of pictures but here are some that I liked:

When we first got to the beach, James saw a seagull and started chasing it… little did we know that he would continue chasing it practically to the water!

Matt had to chase after him to make sure that he didn’t go in the water!

Matt let James down and as any toddler, he made another run for it!

Matt learned his lesson and decided to hold him :)

Here is a picture of James’ friend Paxton!

In the photo above AND in the photos below, please notice his tongue! Our silly little guy likes to stick his tongue out when he puts his mind to something!

James turned the pile of sand (which was in the process of becoming a castle) into a slide… leave it up to James!

The picture below is James’ smile that he does when we tell him to “smile”-  I wonder when he will grow out of this phase and give us a cuter smile :)
