Beach Trip!

We spent the weekend at Gearhart a couple weeks ago (happy birthday Papu!) and the weather was incredible for early April...warm, slight breeze, very nice.  We did a lot of beach playing.  Here are some pictures...

The leader in the clubhouse for the '09 Xmas picture...

Find stick...throw stick...repeat.  

Walking the long path back to the beach house.  I took this with my cell phone...technology is amazing. 

Auntie Liz and Sam did a LOT of running together...up and down the dunes about 100 times, then in and out of the water another 100 times...

Cousin Kaja...

Amy taking in the sights...

Kaja, Amy and Sam...they can swim, right?
