Off to the Beach!

We decided on Sunday night that we were going to go to the beach on Monday. Josh was able to get the day off and go with us which was one of the best things for me! (Just love that guy!) When Megan woke up that morning I told her we were going to the beach and she said, "Fly a kite?" I'm not sure where she got the beach-kite connection but I said sure! We met Jon, Kelly and Stacy in McMinnville and all jumped in the truck and headed to Lincoln City. Megan got to sit next to Jon which was fantastic to her. We heard "Silly Jon!" all the way here. She's already said it about 5 times since I started this blog because she's sitting on my lap "helping". Aunt Kelly let Megan use her iPhone for entertainment. She has little games that Megan can play and now requests to play whenever Kelly is home.
We went to the outlet mall first and did some shopping, then went to Mo's for lunch and walked down to the beach from there.

Little beach girl!
When we first got there, she just ran and ran all over.
Josh got the kite up with minimal wind and Megan loved watching it and "helping".
Yes, the water was pretty cold but of course that didn't keep her out of it. We were on an inlet which was perfect because there wasn't a real big tide to worry about. I was mostly worried about her falling in the water and having to go in and get her! She also played in the sand and buried her feet.
We also got to see some seals in the water!

We had a really fun day and still had to make it back for a BBQ!

That looks like so much fun! We usually go to Seaside, but when we go to Lincoln City that little bay/inlet is our favorite place to play! We'll have to let our little beach bums play in the sand this summer!
