A week with Nana

My mom came up and visited last week to get her dose of grandkids. We had fun, as usual. A lot of the time was spent dealing with my crazy life, making phone calls and going to appointments. A lot is going on in our lives right now, and my mom was a great help (at the expense of her "vacation"). Well, we did fun things too.

We visited the Columbia Gorge. Yes, we are a little obsessed with it's beauty. But my mom has never seen it, so we had to take a trip. The highlight.... seeing Grant's favorite thing in the entire world, a train. Not 1, but 3 trains. He was one happy boy! A good ol' head lock by NanaNana bought the kids an ice cream cone
Reagan, lunging out of her carrier to get another lick

Yummy!


On another day we went to the beach. Hillsboro was sunny and beautiful. We checked the weather at Cannon Beach... cloudy with light showers.
We went for it!
A little rain won't intimidate us.
Well, to be honest, I never would have gone except my mom has never been to the Oregon coast.
It was a blast. There was none of the whining or crying I had anticipated. Just pure, joyful, wet, sandy fun! Making roads in the sand.
Reagan kept scooping up the sandy water and drinking it, delicious!
Jefferson found these jelly fish remains... his face says it all.
We love our Nana

I can predict that Jefferson will have a career in marine biology or will likely be involved in water-related sports in school. Can't keep that boy out of the ocean!!
