Family Vacation Day 6

Monday, August 16, 2010
Dear Max,
This morning we went to Hay Stack Rock in Cannon Beach.

The gang on the walk down to the rock.


This was a surprising experience for me.

I was expecting to see this. A Huge rock in the ocean.

But instead we saw this...

Huge star fish, green sea urchins


And tiny crustations.

I had no idea that this "rock" was an actual living rock, with billions of sea life friends calling this place home. It was so fun to explore!




A birds eye view for Max

After exploring the rock, Grammie was smart and brought some kites and beach toys to play with. It was perfect kite flying weather.

Papa helping the kids get the kites up


Oh no! It crashed, you are a big helper with flying kites


Hold on tight... Yeah that didn't always work out, I remember one round Daddy was chasing your kite down the beach. We got smart with the "double hold" after that.


Daniel getting his kite up in the air


Look at that! They are super high

Once you lost interest with kite flying you began your excavation of Hay Stack Rock Beach.

Digging holes


And more holes


And even more holes.


It entertained you for a long time!



Our last activity at the beach, put your feet in. It's such cold water, we didn't want to get wet to early and then be miserable. So we spent a few moments in the water to say we were brave enough to dip our feet in this freezing stuff!



You and Daddy
