Classic Oregon Coast fog...but still warm!

Nice and cool at the beach



It has reached record highs of 105-107 in the Portland area this week, we are staying cool at the beach..with temps as high as 93...it still feels kind of weird getting a tan at the Oregon Coast, but hey...i wont argue! Jesse had to go into work a couple of days so Amalia and I decided to give ourselves pedicures, and of course as soon as Jess got back from work we were headed right down to the beach to play! Our days consist of playing on the beach, playing on the beach, and playing on the beach...and loving it:)

Enjoying our family at the beach...

We are having an incredible time (only been here one day thus far) at the beach! The weather is about 102 in Portland, and about 80 here. We spent the day down at the beach, playing in the sand, making sand castles, chasing waves and taking a long nap:0). Amalia can't get enough of the water and wants to roll in the sand as much as she can. Jesse and I are enjoying our little family tremendously and are so blessed to have such beautiful little girls. Our favorite story...when Amalia told me "good job, you are such a big girl" when I used the restroom...awesome.
