Beach Day

 Finally on Thursday, a glimmer of hope arrived in the form of a happy little girl in the morning.  We ceased the opportunity and drove out to the beach.  It was an amazing day!  70+ degrees on the oregon coast made us feel like we were in Hawaii!  Andrew had a meeting up in Portland so my Dad made the trip out there with us!  So glad he did because it was a lot of fun!

the girls caught fish in their buckets (that we searched high and low to buy)

 found jellyfish in the sand at low tide

 After several hours at the beach we packed it up and went to visit Great Grandma, and Great Emily and Steve (as Chloe calls her- really my aunt Emily).  Scooner was there too, and loved helping the girls eat their apples.  It was great to see my grandma (the girls' great grandma) doing so well after her hip surgery!  She had us worried there for a while but now she is back to herself and back at home.  

A good time was had by all!
