Beach Babe

This summer Quinn got to take several trips to local beach parks, and we even took a day trip to a real beach in Lincoln City on the Oregon Coast with Emily and Chloe! I have always loved the water, and Quinn seems to be following suit. He's not afraid to get in, regardless of temperature, and his fearless attitude enables him to always have a great time (not to mention, keeps mommy and daddy, and all other caretakers on their toes)!

Beach Trip #1: Newcastle Beach Park (Bellevue)

My little beach babe!

Invading the little pond that some boys dug up.

I love how kids will befriend each other so easily. Sometimes Quinn bothers the older kids because he will mess up whatever it is they are working on. These boys were pretty sweet though and were getting a kick out of this little baby wanting to play with them. So cute!

Beach Trip #2: Lincoln City

Cousins!

We had such a fun day with Chloe and Auntie Emily!

Cutie!

Such a big boy!

Beach Trip #3: Idylwood Beach Park (Redmond)

It was all fun and games until...
*BTW: Pat is not a huge fan of this next series of photos, but I was happy to have caught this little (unplanned) "dip" on film! If we're going to document Quinn's life, we have to document it all, right? (or, as much as possible)

Help Daddy, I'm slipping...

Oops! Fell over!

The rescue.


He's okay! In fact, he didn't seem to mind taking the dip one bit!


There was also post swimming fun to be had on the swing


and the slide!

As we come into fall, our beach days are probably over for a while. Until next year!
