Ok, forgive the picture overload on this post, but there were just too many pictures to choose from and I wanted to document as much of this trip as I could. We had SO.MUCH.FUN. I think a 3 year old's Heaven might seriously be the beach at the ocean. Claire had a blast and it was so great to watch her there. We weren't going to go this year and at the last minute decided to go for it and we are so glad. We flew to Portland and drove to the beach and both kids did great traveling. I think the pictures speak for themselves with what they did so here goes:
Claire loved to wear "sea foam slippers"
Lots of walking on the beach and sea shell hunting. I LOVE this one. They even have the same walk
Cooper was so relaxed and loved to watch his sister play. Next year he'll get to join in on all the fun...out of the stroller
The Ocean Lodge, where we have stayed 2 years.
