Beach trip

We left for the Ocean Park early Friday morning, unpacked at the beach house  and went right to the beach!
The girls spent their time chasing seagulls and looking for shells.


In the afternoon we went to Long Beach and they played at Fun Land, Harper did well on the fishing game, her favorite.  We also visited the bakery.
Later we were back to the beach and more digging, looking for jellyfish and those elusive sand dollars.
We were really surprised when Harper accidentally dug up a clam!

Saturday was overcast and windy.  Ava brought a jar to collect some "moon water" - she read that ocean water from a full moon has some magical powers.  The water was surprisingly clear.

It was so windy, her ball would just roll right back to her.
We went for several bike rides, to Adelaide's, the school playground, and to buy caramel corn.

Harper and Papa rode the Go-Karts in Long Beach.

We shopped a little in town, they picked out some special stones.

Sunday we went to Seaside, a very busy place, way too many people.
Harper went on the bumper cars while Ava rode the Tilt-A-Whirl - Ava was disappointed because it went  slow.

They posed for a picture for me, we went to the Aquarium but only in the gift shop. 

Ava talked Harper into going on the Tilt-A-Whirl with her, more weight made it go faster for a better ride.

They decided the Seaside Fun Land isn't as fun as the one in Long Beach, kind of hard to win tickets.

Same with the Go-Karts, the Seaside cars were newer but Harper wasn't impressed.  It didn't help that some old guy kept running into her.
We spent our last night in Astoria, had dinner at the Pig n' Pancake and came home Monday.
