Beach Bums

Well while we are on the topic of nice weather (see prior post if you missed it) let's step back in time to President's Day.  Another nice weather day - in February none the less!  Kevin sprung another last minute day trip to the beach on us.  Of course we were all game...well I did have one condition that had to be met and that was that I got to pick the lunch spot.  Kevin has always bypassed the Rogue Brewery in Astoria.  Not this time!  We enjoyed a great lunch with a great view and an amazing bloody mary.  I of course left my phone in the car, or else I would have shared a few pictures.  Oh well, there will be a next visit!

Next stop was Long Beach, WA.  We roamed around the kite shops, stopped for ice cream, stood in line for ice cream for 15 minutes, left ice cream shop with no ice cream, and then headed for the beach.

Though not a first beach trip for Kaci or Dean, it was the first time that they didn't cry due to the bone chilling wind when we made them get out of the car.  They even enjoyed themselves this time!

This stick was way better then the sand toys we had brought.

Dean finally got a shot at playing with the prized stick.

So how did we get pictures of smiling kids after denying them that ice cream?  Popcorn from the hardware store.  Seriously...these kids are so weird.
