From the Headlee Couch: Seaside, Oregon

The Headlee's have such an AWESOME tradition - Seaside!! It is so much fun. Every part of it; the beach, the prom, games, biking, walking, meals, arcade, baseball, taffy, caramel corn, and this year the surrey! Once again I am going to have a lot of trouble picking out just a few pictures but here goes.

Every year we pack up and head to the beach. One of the greatest parts about Seaside is that you cannot predict the weather. We have had all extremes, which sometimes means more beach runs and it sometimes means less. This year was definitely less. The weather wasn't horrible but it wasn't really beach weather either. Of course we battled the rain and wind and went to play on the beach. You would have never known the weather by looking at Kiara & Mckenna!

Grandma walking with Kiara & Mckenna (notice Kiara in all of her clothes).

The water was SO warm. Once our feet were in there was no going back! (Kiara has ditched the shorts, we are getting closer)

It is swim suit time! I love this pic of the girls in their swim suits and Grandpa in his rain jacket!

Ava was there too, snug in the bjorn most of the time. When we first got there she played in the sand with Grandma and loved it!

We spent a really fun hour (maybe 2) at the beach. The sideways rain finally became too much and so we headed back to the house for a fire and SMORES!!

THE ARCADE! The brothers in a head to head pop-a-shot game.

Every year we go to the arcade. I am not sure who likes it more, the girls or me.

Kiara's favorite game - jump rope.

Deal or No Deal.....

Love this game. You roll 2 balls onto a bingo type board and try to get black out. If you get black out first, you will 999 tickets. Rob won 999 tickets!!!

Ice cream time!

Ava loved chocolate chip mint!

Walking on the Prom.

Meanwhile behind us, Rob seeing how Kiara's bike works!

Every year Tom & Katie listen for our kids at night so us other kids can go get a drink. We look forward to this all year, we always have so much fun!

One of the things about Seaside for the Headlee family is tradition. There is always someone saying - we've got to do that, we always do that! This statement shows how much fun everyone has on this trip. This year Rob suggested we rent a nine person surrey. Really? Alright, that sounds crazy and like a lot of fun.
