Mini Trip to Lincoln City

The beach makes us happy! It is so relaxing for us. We decided to head to the coast for Labor Day to have a little R&R. It was a perfect day! We bundled up preparing for a chilly day at the coast and were left wishing we were in shorts. It was a perfect day! Perfect day at the beach = Happy Courtright's! Happy Daddy

Happy Mommy

Happy Girl

Happy Boy
The beach in Lincoln City was awesome. They have tons of tide pools with sea anemones. Mike was tickling them so they would give us a pucker. We found tons of mussels. It was really fun. Not so fun, was nursing Chase on the beach. I didn't have my hooter hider so I was using our jackets as a make shift cover up until a dog come sniffing me out. He jumps on top of Chase while nursing and tries to get in on the action. What the? I thought dogs only like to sniff people's rears.

Yoga on the beach with Kira! Beth, you would be so proud. :)

Tillamook ice cream! Best stuff ever!

Do you think this child has seen to much nursing? Seriously. This was not a staged picture. This girl sure makes us laugh!

Oh yeah! The oyster shooters to end the trip. When I was in Chile, I ate these things live. You could squirt lemon juice on them and see them move. Then you sucked them down your gullet. I dared Mike to do it with me. These are dead of course. I think they taste better live. Just suck away and they pretty much slither down your throat.

Slurping up the shooter!

Oyster shooters? I dare ya to do it!

What a fun little family trip! One of these days we sure need to come out for a visit. I can't believe how big KiKi is getting and Chase is one cute little guy. And you are such a skinny minny. You really look great! And, I would never in a million years try one of those shooters. Yucky. What did Mike think???
