cannon beach- take 1

june 21

we love cannon beach.

i'm not sure if we love it so much because of it's beautiful beaches, quaint shops, tasty pizza restaurants, or the breathtaking state parks surrounding it.

i'm thinking we love it so much because of the memories we made here 3 years ago with our two tiny little boys (tiny at the time).

sam was such a joy to watch then at the "bunny house" and with his love for the sand;

the 1st time he saw sand he laid down on it and scrunched it between his fingers & toes.

he has a new fascination with the beach,

and part of that fascination played out today at cannon beach.

he wants to swim in the ocean so bad.

he has worn his swimsuit almost everyday that we have been here.

he was determined at cannon beach.

you must know the air temperature is about 65 degrees and the water about 58 degrees.

it's cold.

he got in to swim.

he splashed around like he was really enjoying it.

he had to have been frozen.

but good for him for trying.

thanks, sam, for adding another precious memory of our times at cannon beach.

we will always appreciate your determination to fully enjoy everything around you.

even if you seem a little out of your mind. :)
