more of the same

If you look realy close you can see the top of Connors head in the command station. He had a good time looking out over the water and pretending that he was a soldier looking out for ships. Alexis loved getting a change to practice her driving skills.

The fort

Our next stop was to go see the Fort. I think that nana and papa were not realy ready to go on this full adventure with us. But they were great sports as they were being lead around by the kids to see all the places they could fit.

Well we did it we found a ship wreck. The beach that day as you can see is cold and wet. Along with the ship Connor discovered a giant pile of sea weed. He started to drag them from all over the beach to help with the collection. So far Abby has had a great time on our adventure as well. She did a lot of swimming and even tried to join the two men on the boat.

the cannon

Then we went and found the cannon at cannon beach. I think it is the first time in all the years I have been going that I stoped to look at it. It is amazing the things that your kids will have you slow down to look at. We were there for just long enought to get these pictures. then back on the move in seach of pirate ships.

hunting pirates

I took the kids to the beach on a long weekend to go in search of pirates. As you can see we first had to start on the beach in the rain. Like any adventure it starts with a little weather, and a lot of digging.

Connors pictures

As you can see he is caught some realy good pictures. Of not only the animals but he even got Heather and Jack. I am sure that I will not be the one taking the pictures soon. Oh well. At least I know he likes doing something other than sports. I think that the monkey picture that he took is one of his best.

zoo trip

Heather and I took Connor Jack nad Alex

is to the zoo today. They had a great time running around and seeing all of their favorite animals. It was a little cold but we have found that you need to take advantige of the sunny days. Even if it is 38 degrees. As you can see we have some pictures comming up that the kids took. Connor is realy getting into taking pictures. And they are really pretty good. He must get it from Sam and aunti Heather, and Papa.
