Memorial Day 2012


Our good friends Brooke, Taylor, and Logan Mowery (Logan is 7 months older than Brandon) along with our friends Rosie and Thomas  and their dog Dixie got a beach house in Seaside about 4 blocks from the ocean for Memorial Day weekend.  Brooke, Logan, Brandon, and I drove over to Seaside in Brooke’s minivan as the husbands had to work later.  The boys enjoyed riding together in the van.  Brandon got to have his first Happy Meal in Seaside for dinner and of course he liked it!  When we got to the beach house, the boys went crazy after being cooped up in the car all day.  They ran around the house like crazy kiddos.  I had to run around the house and baby proof it quickly.

                                             Brandon and Logan loved to hug after naps
                                                          Happy boys after their naps!
                                                                      So cute!

The babies got up early around 6:30ish the whole weekend.  The first day we went to the beach.  Brooke and I went shopping during the babies naps at the Seaside Outlets.  The boys really interacted with each other the entire weekend.  It was so cute; they would look for each other in the morning and after naps and hug each other.  Logan called Brandon “B” and I swear Brandon said “Logan” (which is easier to say) several times.  They would run around looking for each other in the house all the time and babble to each other a lot.  Watching them interact made me realize how much Brandon will eventually enjoy having his own little sibling in the future (not now though!).  They loved the beach house because it had a huge fenced back yard that they could run around.  We went on a walk at the Seaside Boardwalk and went to little shops and got yummy candy at this huge candy shop.  We found swings on the beach and Brandon loved swinging.   That night we BBQed and played board games and went into the hot tub after the babies went to bed.

The next day we went on a walk in the morning and played on the beach near our house.  Logan and Brandon loved digging in the sand and playing with their buckets.  We went into Cannon Beach for dinner at this yummy fish and chips restaurant that Taylor and Brooke had gone to in the past.  The boys loved playing at the beach before dinner.  Brandon ran towards the ocean and even stuck his feet in the ocean and was good about not running into the ocean and being careful.  It was a really fun weekend and when we got home we were exhausted!
