True Oregonians...

To celebrate my sister's 18th birthday, we took a trip to Cannon Beach. It was a typical winter day at the coast...meaning lots of rain. But did that stop us? I don't think so! We are true Oregonians. The kids had been looking forward to swimming in the ocean so much that nothing was about to stop them. I'm personally not a fan of the freezing Pacific, but I had a hard time getting them to stop playing in the water.
Here they are, still in dry clothes...

That did NOT last very long...

Yes, I know that I am probably a terrible mother for letting my little girls put shorts on in the rain, in February, at the beach, and go into the Pacific....but they were soooo happy!

Finally, all dry and exploring the town of Cannon Beach. It had actually stopped raining at this point. Afterwards we topped it off with ice cream at the Tillamook Cheese Factory. It's hard to go to the beach without stopping there!
