When my brother Shane was making plans for us to come out for the holiday he asked what we wanted to do. The only thing I cared about was making sure Adi got her first chance to visit the ocean. So, the day after Thanksgiving we all piled into a vehicle and drove and hour and a half to the coastal town of Lincoln City, OR.
The weather was perfect for strolling about on the coast, taking in the enormity of the great Pacific Ocean.
Surprisingly, Adi wasn't really interested in the seashells. The tide was super high when we first arrived so there weren't many to be found, aside from the occasional broken clam shell. Even though they were pretty and shiny inside, she preferred the smooth round pebbles instead.
Here's Papa and Adi. Nana and Papa took turns taking walks with her. Adi and I could have stayed forever, not everyone else was so convinced. Especially after...
Nana and Papa were walking together with Adi when a huge wave came in above their knees before they could get out of it. Luckily Adi was held high and didn't get wet, unfortunately I didn't have the camera with me when it happened or I would have had a very funny video to post ;) Below you can see Nana and Papa have wet jeans. From left to right: Cam, Shane (my brother), Nana (my mom), Adi, Kris (Shane's wife), Papa (my dad).
After the tidal incident, we all went to Bi-Mart so Nana and Papa could get some dry clothes. Adi and Nana also picked up some rain boots so they could wade in the water together. Adi was pretty excited about that!
The ocean is such a fun subject to photograph. I love taking photos with sepia.
A pretty picture of my little girl.
On our walk back to the car Adi was a bit chilly so she climbed into my really large fleece jacket like a little papoose. It was very cozy.
And we couldn't resist taking photos of some of the flowers that were blooming at the coast. This splash of color was so wonderful!
