We had a wonderful opportunity to spend a few days at the coast this past weekend. It was so relaxing and a good kick off to Luis's new job that he started on Monday. I think this was Sol's 2nd time to the Oregon coast, but he got plenty of beach time in Hawaii last November:-)
One of Sol's many gma/gpas got him beach toys for Easter, which was perfect, considering we already had plans to go to the coast. He took his boat, bucket, shovel and little rake thing and we played in the water and dug holes.
The waves snuck up on him and clearly by the look on our faces, I got much more satisfaction out of him getting wet than he did..pretty funny!
We also built lots of "sand castles" with our bucket...but what that really consisted of was me working really hard to get it packed in there and to come out in one piece and Sol would kick it over and laugh! little turkey....
Like I said before in my post about the chickens, Sol LOVES wearing his red rubber boots, he can even say 'boots' and tells us when he wants to put them on. Unfortunately most of the time they're caked in mud and he wants to wear them in the house, so the mean mommy I am, I put my foot down!
We played a few times on the playground where we were staying and had a great time! There was a basketball court and Luis and I found out why we both aren't making millions as pro ball players...well, because we both suck! Sol has a really good arm and can throw a ball surprisingly accurate.
One of his favorite words right now is Ball....everything is a ball:-)
He figured out that he could go down the slide by himself and wearing his 'boots', actually made him go faster!
WooHOoooo!
We got so lucky and were able to spend time with some of our best friends, Steve and Jill. Unfortunately for us, they moved to portland a while back, so our visits are few and far between...so we really enjoyed spending time at the beach with them!
Daddy found Sol a perfect walking stick! He wanted to carry it everywhere:-)
