Not the Florida Beach

On Sunday afternoon, the 30th of May, after attending church in Tillamook, we took the kids out to the beach. Anna thought she wanted to swim, but it was a very cold weekend and we tried to discourage her. We finally agreed to let her pull up her leggings and go wading. After playing in the sand for a while, she, William and Kip headed for the water. One step into the waves and she came running back to me on my log. It was COLD. I think she was expecting something more like what we found in Florida. Kip made a deal with the kids to see who could stay in the water the longest. William won and got really wet. Anna wasn't far behind. When they were sufficiently frozen, we trekked back to the beach house and gave them both a warm bath.

Grammy & Grandad's at Christmas

 

We had a really good time at Grammy and Grandad's. The hot-tub was a blast - especially helpful with Anna's nasty cough.

 

Anna learned to not fear the dog.

 

William learned to not fear the dog, too. Becca learned to enjoy the dog unless she moved in any way, then Becca ran from her in terror.

 

We really enjoyed seeing Craig and Lesley's kids, Enoch and Sarah. They are getting very cute and Becca thought they were a lot of fun.

Grammy and Grandad's Visit

Grammy and Grandad came out to our new house for William's birthday and just in time to help us move. We had a lot of fun with them. Here's the kids and the Grandparents in their Sunday best. Poor Anna was a little off balance on the sofa.
