To The Coast We Go

On Saturday we went to the coast. First stop was lunch, then the Hatfield Marine Science Center because the kids just can't get enough of it.

Avery finally put his hand in the touch pools and felt this skate!

Next stop, South Beach where it was a very foggy day, but surprisingly pleasant.

They were happy, even buried, honest!

Avery wriggled free, but felt no qualms in making sure Carson was still thoroughly buried

Then Avery buried Daddy. This picture was funny because Carson
decided to step in last minute, but didn't think he needed to look at me.

Sadly, the afternoon didn't end to everyone's satisfaction

Emmett wasn't bothered though

While Daddy changed Carson, Avery played on these great wind-swept trees

Changed and newly happy, it was Carson's turn on the trees

One of the main reasons we went to the coast was actually for me
to get some photos for a project, so I figure I could share one here

Iconic Newport Bridge

When we stopped for pictures at the beginning of the day, it was much foggier (the main arch wasn't visable!), so I stuck to shots under the bridge. I'm glad it cleared enough by the end of the trip to actually get this shot!

I always enjoy "reading" your blog for the pictures.

Thanks for your comments Laurie. I agree with the others, your pictures are really impressive (and your family looks beautiful too). If you don't mind my asking, what type of camera do you use? Say hello to Travis for me.

I would cry along with Carson but I love the shot of him laying on the tree. I'm glad there is a sailboat under the bridge to give a sense of its size.
