1st Family Beach Vacay

We took our 1st family vacation to the beach this weekend with Gpa G, Gma J, Uncle Aaron, and Uncle D & Kari. We went to Ocean Shores and stayed in a cozy little cabin @ Snugglers Cove. It was a really snuggly kind of place :) - especially with the stormy weather we encountered while we were visiting!!


Our cabin was SO cute and cozy - it made staying inside due to the windy and rainy weather conditions, not. so. bad! :) We got some quality family time, which was really nice.


TV/small living room area


A look at the back porch with direct beach access - which we did not get to use during this visit. But maybe next time we decide to head to the ocean we can!


Comfy, cozy log bed!


Other side of the bed and door to the bathroom


Little kitchen area

We spent the first day inside with the family, chatting, enjoying warm coffee while watching the waves come crashing in from storm outside, and doing a puzzle!


SO excited to be at the beach (the first morning)


Snuggling with Daddy watching the stormy weather


A view of the stormy weather from our cabin window....and a crazy guy wind surfing in the storm!

We spent lots of time with the family in their cabin, too!


Laughing with Grandma J & Grandpa G


Hanging with Uncle Aaron


Talking with Daddy about our busy beach day!


The next day we went into town and did some shopping. Stephen ended up buying a remote control helicopter which became quite the entertainment during the trip. The boys had wayyyy to much fun with it...it was pretty funny! :) We also took a drive out on the beach and played in the sand for a bit. Stephen and Derek both got pulled over shortly after we got onto the beach, because they both slighty fish tailed in the sand. Boys will be boys!!! Honestly, it really wasn't anything crazy at all - they did it ONCE to have a little bit of fun. However, the cop did NOT like it and he called it "reckless driving" and gave them both a warning - he wasn't very nice about it either. :( Oh well, at least it was only a warning...and we got the message loud and clear.... :)

Boys pulled over...oops!


The trucks all lined up on the beach.




Cooper trying to dig out his frisbee in the sand! Pretty funny!


Stephen hitting golf balls into the waves/water



Love!
Bradleigh's 1st Trip to the Beach (all bundled and sleeping, of course!)



Enjoying the beach from INside the car :) Too windy outside for Little B

In the afternoon we all went clamming (well the boys and Kari did!) Little B, Gma J, and I sat in the car. Bradleigh slept majority of the 3 hour clamming adventure...besides it was too cold and windy for him to really be outside anyway. We couldn't get over how many people we out there clamming that day. There had to be hundreds of thousands. It was insane...there were cars and people lining the beach for as far as you could see!!!!

Passed out in the back seat (wearing his shades, haha)

Stephen, Derek, and Dad clamming away....tough work!! Kari got in there and tried it, too. Oh, and Aaron held the clam bag!!
