The Beach is Fun!!!

We packed up the kids and the car to head for an adventure at the Beach. It takes almost 2 hours to get to the beach here. So we headed out and got to Westport, WA. at about 12:30. The sun was shining and it was 65 degrees. Not too bad of weather.

Here is the crew unpacking and checking out the area. As you can see it was very hard to find a spot of the beach. Too many people crowding the beach, ha, we were the only ones besides a few passerbys everyone once in a while.
Aidan loved being able to JUST RUN around. I was nervous that he might just jump into the ocean, but luckily the crashing waves and fast water coming towards him, kept him away from it.
I know my eyes are closed sorry. Ethan is such a cheese ball when it comes to taking pictures.

Here was an attempt to build a sand castle. IMPOSSIBLE with 2 little dudes. The second you build the second it goes down. :) That didn't last long.
Here is a unbelievable sight!! We finally got a kite up!!! Ethan has successfully seen a "Flying" kite. Unfortunately he was not into to as much as we thought. Naturally!!
Vance taking the kite for a spin. It was pretty dang windy and didn't take much to get it up.
Good skills Babe.
Aidan just loved it all.

Vance gave Aidan a stab at flying the kite. Well Aidan let it go and I ran like crazy to catch it. It was pretty funny.
Ethan finally got into the kite and took a turn. He did pretty good. The wind was blowing so much that it was pretty hard to hold onto the kite.
Despite the wind Ethan is able to hang on.
I wrote this for Ethan and after he says "Mom is says Ethan Vance Hodo" I thought that was pretty cute. Here he is giving some pretty cheesy grins once again.
Aidan decided he was done with the wind and so was Vance. WUSSY!!!

After the beach we headed to the fisherman's marina and walked to the rocks. I have to say I'm a bit freaked out by the crashing waves and the rocks. We climbed up here with the boys and I was freaking out a bit. I just think water is so powerful!!!!
The boys hanging on the rocks.
Proof I was on the rocks as well and maybe a nice family picture!! hehe
I was way too scared to take the boys down with me so Vance grabbed and hung on tight. I love how Aidan is just hanging there.
A pretty interesting picture. We stopped to get an OVERPRICED hamburger and saw this dog sitting in the front seat of this car. We couldn't resist to take a picture. It cracks me up.
