Sydney Sees Seaside

I decided to post this entry separately because there are just too many cute pictures. We finally got a chance to get out of town for a couple of days to Seaside, OR. We are always grateful to Aunt Marlys for use of the cabin. Our first night was a challenge due to the excitement of a new place.

Here's our little genie-head refusing to settle down in the cabin.



Sydney absolutely LOVED the beach. About as much as Ellie. Well, maybe not that much, yet...

Here we go! Note the Charlie Brown Christmas stance (you know, when the other kids decorate his tree and he squats a bit, surprised).



Anyway, here's her first encounter with some sea puddles.



Here she is on a beautiful Oregon coast day!





Here's Sydney feeling the ocean for the first time in her life (as far as we know). Note the angle of her stance as she is being knocked back.



Sydney and Baba.



Here's Sydney's first barefoot experience on the sand. Baba is showing her what to do with her toes.



Sydney plopped on her bottom a split second after this was taken.



The water was strangely warm for the Northwest, and Sydney plunged in with Baba's help.



Sydney got her first taste of Beach 'N Brew's tater tots.



Mama, Sydney and Ellie.



Beach Girls.



Ellie didn't move from this spot in the cabin all night. Aahh, the beach.
