The past couple of years my sisters and I have taken my Mom to the beach for her birthday or Mother's Day. It is such a great weekend to relax and enjoy each other's company. The kids play at the beach, we go for long walks, check out the tide pools, and shops in the cute little town of Cannon Beach.
Last weekend Stephanie heard that there was going to be a ridiculously low tide and she wanted to take the kids to see the tide pools. Being a teacher and off on summer break, I was all over this idea. Mom was free, brother Bryan just happened to be home so we all got in the car for a last minute trip to the beach. We found this perfect house on the internet that happened to have availability. The owners agreed to let us rent it for two nights if we made a donation to an agreed upon charity. Since Leslie and Caroline could not join us we decided to make our donation to Seattle Children's Hospital in honor of Caroline. Long story short, we had a great time at the beach. It was so amazing to see the tide out past Haystack Rock, so many starfish, sea enemies, crab, and sea creatures.
Addy loved running on the beach.
