We decided to celebrate the Fourth of July by taking Josie to the beach for the first time. It was supposed to be in the upper 80s in the Willamette Valley today, and nearly 70F at the coast, so we decided this would be the perfect opportunity.
When we arrived in Newport, it was sunny and beautiful...lots of blue sky, but just a tad bit windy. We should have packed our kite...and coats. We made the best of it though, and introduced Josie to sand and sea foam and salt water.
She wasn't too sure about getting in the water...the ocean is a bit brisk up here even in the summer time. But she enjoyed walking on the sand and sniffing seaweed and the various dead things that washed ashore. Good times.
We attempted to take a family portrait or two before the battery in our camera died (yes, forgot to pack the spare too), but we're still working on how to sit still for the camera. Next time.
