October Beach Trip

So we forgot to mention that for Noah's actual birthday, we took a trip to Canon Beach. It was a beautiful day and the it was actually comfortably warm (I'm talking t-shirt weather). Dad was kind enough to pull the battery out of mom's camera to recharge it before we left. We packed up some snacks and headed out on the road early to let Noah take his nap while we drove. When we got there, it was picture perfect... Right up to the point when we realized that no one bothered to put the battery back in the camera after the charge.

Mom was devastated... I mean, what parent (what crazed photo taking parent, I should say) misses their only child's first birthday.

To make up for the tragedy, we made a second trip in October. Here are some priceless shots of Noah's battle with the sand (needless to say it was not his favorite).

What.... is.... this.... stuff!?


He quickly realized that no means of mobility was going to get him away from this stuff, so he just sat down and cried. But has a cure all solution to tears...



Me also made a trip to the Tillamook Cheese factory. It was a first for mom and Noah but everyone had a blast... I mean what's not to love about tasting great cheese and finishing it off with some delicious ice cream.
