We went to Cannon Beach twice because it's so close. The first day Martha got to go with us, which made it all the more fun. It was cool and overcast, and of course the water was FREEZING, but the kids loved every minute--even when their lips were blue and they couldn't stop shivering.
Satchel spent what seemed like hours chasing waves, back and forth, back and forth, laughing the whole time.
Martha was the brave (crazy?) one. She was out there in that water up to her shoulders. Aaaah! Just putting my feet in gave me a headache. At one point I thought she might have hypothermia, but she rallied and went back in for more.
Getting buried in the warm sand was one way to get out of the cold!
About 6:00 the tide went out and we were able to walk out to Haystack Rock. There are lots of tidal pools with all kinds of little creatures. Martha maneuvered through them all and actually went out and touched the big rock!

MUCHAS, MUCHAS GRACIAS A MI HIJA, SYM. We forget that there are beaches that are acutally cold with cold water. How strange!!(:
It looks like the kids had a great time. Brings back wonderful memories of 30-40 years ago at that same beach.
