Life's a Beach, and Then You Get Ice Cream

L to R: Callie, Baby Landen, Cohen

Callie says: 

Another long break between updates, but figured an evening at the beach is as much of a reason as any to put a new post out there, so here goes!  

G.G. (Grandma-Great, aka Daddy's Grandma) and Grandpa Jerry have been visiting and staying with us for the last few days, and since Auntie She-She (Daddy's baby sister) and cousin Landen came up today too, we decided to find someplace fun to go.  Hence, the trip to Rosario Beach near Deception Pass.  It's just a quick 25 minute drive from our house, but Cohen still managed to fall asleep on the way there, which always creates a "fun" situation when waking him up.

This has become one of our favorite places for a quick picnic, and today didn't dissappoint.  Aside from the 15 minute photo session that mommy and daddy made us sit through, we got to throw rocks, play around on the beach, and even do a little hiking.

I'm not entirely sure how I feel about Landen being around. Cohen and all the adults are head over heels about him, but I kind of think he steals some of my much-deserved attention as the previous baby of the family, but overall, he seems like a pretty good kid! 

Time for bed, so I gotta sign off.  Hope everyone enjoys their big Mother's Day weekend! 

 After about 74 posed photos, we got goofy!
