Arch Cape Beach Trip






This weekend we are relaxing in rental house in Arch Cape on the Oregon Coast with Nana and Bop (Nancy and Rick). It's been so nice to just hang out and not do much of anything. We have one more night here and plan to go to Seaside on our way home tomorrow to show Lexi the sea lions at the aquarium. I think she's going to LOVE that! I can't wait to see her reaction!

This morning Lexi woke up at the crack of dawn (5am). She has a hard time when she isn't familiar with her surroundings and I also think she was a bit cold (it got very cold in this house last night). So...the day started early for us. Seth let me go back to bed and stayed up with her until Nana and Bop woke up when they then took over. Here's a photo of her and "Bop" going night night in the bed this morning. They look like they were having a good 'ol time, don't they?

The weather has been wonderful since we got here....nice and sunny, but a bit brisk (as you can tell by how bundled up little Miss is in the following photographs).



Here she is digging in the sand. She LOVES the sand...but what kid doesn't right?




The beach is about a block away from the house we're staying at and the beach is very secluded. We were lucky enough however to come across another beach comber who offered to snap our photo, so we got a nice (and complete) family photo which is rare.



Lexi LOVES the water and if given her way most likely would have run right in. But due to the chilly air she was forced to settle for watching the waves from a distance....she didn't seem to mind all that much and I was thankful there wasn't more of a struggle.



"Bop" was kind enough to carry Lexi part way back to the house. She's getting quite heavy these days weighing in at about 28lbs.




Here's Lexi walking back to the beach house....with froggie in hand of course. I bet you're wondering if she ever goes anywhere without froggie...well, the answer is NOOOOOO!!! Nana suggested that I name this blog post "Big goes to the Beach". Funny.
