Weekend at the Neskowin Beach

My friend Erin's parents have a beach house in Neskowin. A few weeks ago she and I and the kids spent the weekend there while our husbands were busy hiking/working. We had such a great time!

It was a little bit of a challenge to keep Sean out of mischief in a non-child-proofed house.

Mark and Holden will miss each other now that they have started school in different school districts, so can't see each other as often...

We had fantastic weather on Saturday. The kids enjoyed playing in the sand for hours.

Sean thought the sand was awesome. We had to keep an eye on him because he kept popping shells in his mouth. We finally just gave him a smooth shell that was big enough that he couldn't swallow it... and he was content walking around with it in his mouth while he played.

Sean's fat little sand-piggies.

Mark loved the feeling of the soft sand. He would have liked to bring some home to play with. (He kind of did... in his pockets)...

Sean "helped" Mark dig a hole to sit in.

Sean kept hogging the shovels. We showed the big boys how to dig with a bucket - which goes much faster anyway!

Sean learned to exclaim "WOW!" at particularly loud/big waves.

3 happy boys...

Mark was very happy about digging himself into the sand! It took some serious work to un-sand the kids... but it was 100% worth it! We had 3 exhausted boys that evening who fell asleep as soon as we put them to bed.

The weather was overcast on Sunday, so we bundled the boys, and went on a beach walk.

Doesn't Proposal Rock look gorgeous, all shrouded in fog?
