Seaside Photo Booth

LOVE THIS!!!!  We found a little photo booth and jammed the whole family into it.  This is a photo of what we got.  I should’ve scanned it in-but you get the idea.  Too bad we cut off the boys’ heads.  It was one of my favorite things we did. 

Lunch and a train ride

 

We went to the arcade to get some lunch and let Dallas out of the stroller.  It was so fun!  We gave him some tokens to play a few games and I was able to feed Wes in the corner.  I am amazed at how far I have come.  I used to hate to nurse Dallas in front of anyone and was so clumsy using the nursing cover and now I can nurse Wes anywhere and still stay covered!  It’s a talent I tell you—trying to keep yourself covered and now allow Wes to wiggle his way off my lap.  What I do for my kids.

He LOVED this jeep.  He now knows the names of certain cars and will tell you if you ask.  Such a smart boy.  :)

Happy as can be!

This was the Skee Ball game.  It was HILARIOUS to watch him try to get the balls up and into any of the spots.  I think it took him a half an hour to play it! 

Concentrate……       

So cute.

   

Little Bball action. 

They had a toy train ride and Dallas wanted to go with Daddy.  Mom’s no fun-she just gets to take photos.

  

Happy afternoon!  Now we’re off to the beach to play.

Seaside Beach!

Loved spending the rest of the day at the beach. It wasn’t too cold-little windy, but we still had a fun afternoon. There were swings on the beach for the kids and the sand went on for miles! It was a very large beach. The stroller went right over the sand and gave my calves a pretty good workout. It was fun to let Dallas play and get wet. It took him a while before he realized just how cold the water was!!! He still had fun. Like Father and Mother-he could’ve played on that beach all night if we had let him. Wes just tried to eat the sand.

ummmm-the water is cold

LOVE the chub!!! Dallas never had chubby legs so I am loving Wes’! He’s so cute.

Funny side note---Toby is missing his belt, forgot to pack one. He ALWAYS buys shorts too big so they are longer in length. Well, his shorts kept falling down ALL day and at one point I had to hold them up as we were pushing the stroller up the beach. Just thought I’d add that in there.

We’re a bunch of pack rabbits! You can’t even see Wes in there. We had a fun filled day. Seaside is great town and I’d love to go back.

Ice-cream and deep fried Snickers bars

There were lots of yummy candy stores all along the streets so we popped into one get some sweet stuff.  Look what we found!  There was no way I was going to eat a dipped or fried Twinkie, but I did like how they looked.  They even had a maple bacon Twinkie that had a chocolate covered piece of bacon on top.  EWWW.  That doesn’t sound good to me.

There’s real bacon!  Who would want to eat that???  The kid working there said if you liked you sausage covered in pancake syrup, then you’d like this.  I think I’ll stick with the chocolate covered pretzels or the caramel covered apples!

Then it was off to the ice-cream place!  Toby wanted to try their deep fried snickers bars and I couldn’t resist getting me some Tillamook ice cream so that’s what we had for a snack.

Dippin’ it in the fryer.  I wonder how many calories that added………

All the choices-what to get?!?!?!

Here it is!  Doesn’t it look yummy???

Sure it pretty.  Toby said it didn’t taste as great as he was hoping for, but that it still was pretty good. 

I got ice cream in a homemade waffle cone.  Yum!

Seaside Aquarium

We went to Seaside’s tiny aquarium when we first arrived.  It was still a lot of fun even though it was so little.  They had a little touch pond and lots of windows to see things from the ocean.  Dallas was in heaven!  He loves all animals-especially when they can’t get to him. 

Looking and touching the starfish.  He was a bit nervous at first, but then he did just fine. 

 

Trying to get Wes to look at the camera….no such luck. 

Guess it helps to have someone take the photo for you!  Then Wes can’t reach for it. 

There was a stencil/coloring area for the kids.  Dallas had fun coloring an octopus, fish and other sea creatures.

This is Victor.  He was the BIGGEST LOBSTER I have ever seen in my life.  Can’t remember the story behind it, but he was stolen and dropped and that’s how he died.  Sad huh. 

The seals were our favorite part!  You could feed them fish for $1 so that’s what we did! 

They would clap their belly and try and splash you if you didn’t feed them quick enough.  A lady feeding them got soaked because one seal just kept splashing her!  It was fun to watch.               

There was a tiny window that you could bend down and see them-this one swam right up to me and I tried to take a photo as quickly as I could.  It’s blurry, but still cute.

Toby and Dallas with the fish-GROSS.  I didn’t think Dallas would touch it but he did.  He had a lot of fun throwing the food to them.

    Good job buddy!!

It was a fun little experience.  Dallas loves animals and so Toby and I enjoyed sharing that with him.  Wes didn’t do too bad himself!  Then again, his mother was holding him the whole time.  :)
