First Day on the Beach…

Vienna had a fantastic first day ever on the beach.  The weather at the coast was amazing!  It’s been quite a long time since I have been to Lincoln City, Oregon and had such nice weather!  It was at least 75 (I believe it was hotter) and there was unusually little wind… so we sat on the beach in shorts, and tank tops, and roasted!!  I was lobster red when we got back last night, but Sam put vinegar on my burns and they’ve diminished quite a lot!!!  Just a fantastic day for Esther’s visit (though I was a little disappointed that the huge waves I love so much were basically non existent the full time we were on the beach, but maybe Es can come visit some winter and we can take her again). 

Vienna absolutely LOVED being wading in the water.  She would have probably stayed in there all day if we would have let her, despite the freezing water.  This is not the same Pacific water that you find in California!  But she loved it anyway.  She met a little puppy friend who was also just about a year old!! Then she chased him down the beach! 

But we wore her out rather quickly!  So Sam tried to get her to lay down and take a nap, not an easy thing to do with a little one who is just sooooo excited to be exploring so many new things. But finally she gave in and took a nice long nap before we left…

We went to the Look Out at Cape Foul Weather, one of the first tourist spots I brought Sam the first year we visited Oregon, just after getting married.  Three years ago it was just Sam and I, this year it was the tree of us!  It was really nice returning to this spot for us with Matt and Esther.

        

Someday maybe we’ll have all the siblings and sib’s-in-lov there!  We miss Pris & Dan and Sarah & Bill (S&B may be living in Oregon some day in the relatively near future! then we can have family reunions here!!!)

All in all it was a wonderful day. 

Today the Sib’s are out and about in Salem.  I think they are visiting Wunderland (wonder land) which is a video gaming place out here.  they’ll be doing what the three of them love best.  Vienna and I … well, she’s making messes and I’m attempting to keep cleaning them up and getting the house back into order at the same time… yeah, wish me luck!! :) 

And that’s the update for today!! :) 

More fun stuff later… it looks like it’s time for our little princess to take another nap… Vienna needs one too! ha ha.
