Cannon Beach, Oregon is one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited. There is just something about this place that is so peaceful. It's so hard to explain but it's like you're in an alter world where everything is perfect. The smell of the salt in the air, the way the grey sky blends right into the blue ocean, the sounds of the waves, the beach, the huge rocks shooting right out of the ocean, the people, the feeling...indescribable.
The minute we checked into our condo we headed straight for the beach. The walk wasn't long, we stayed right on the beach. It was awesome! Once we were on the beach we got all set up for the fire. One of the many favorite things about Cannon Beach was sitting by the fire right on the beach every night. It was so cool once the sun was setting and the temperature was cooling off to get the fire going. Pretty soon it would be pitch black. All you could see were little orange flickers of lights all the way down the beach from all the fires. All you could hear was the sound of the waves coming in. It's like Magic.

If any of my kids are going to be beach bums when they grow up it will be Lexie. She L O V E S the beach!!! She embellishes every moment she has at the beach. I swear she has no body thermometer either. She will splash around in that ice cold ocean like she hasn't a care in the world! I love her free spirit. Such a carefree little girl. I wish I could be a little more like that. She has always been my little girl who will always take the time to smell the roses. Lexie
The rocks were amazing
The Lighthouse in between these rocks was so cool. It stands alone on a rock out in the ocean.
Hanging out by the fire
Okay, now here are some crazy pics for ya! Jett is the goofiest person on the earth I swear. He stuck 2 marshmallows in his cheeks and was making us all laugh our faces off!!! Check these out:
My Handsome Dad
Jett and Tyke taking a walk down to the shoreline. Precious Moments.
The sun setting behind the ocean. Nothing like it. 
My Mom and Dad coming back from their walk.
Love it!
So, we're all sitting around the fire and Masi informs me that she does not feel good. I had a feeling this was coming on back at the Tillamook Cheese Factory. But I'm hoping she just sits down, takes it easy, and gets feeling better... :o/
"Mom," she tells me. " I really don't feel good." I tell her we'll head up to the condo soon. By this time I should really be listening to her. But I think I was in denial. I was loving the moment too much I couldn't leave. When Masi sais she is sick that means SHE IS SICK!!! No faking with this one. She does NOT lead on.
This picture makes me feel so bad!! Right before we headed in I stood up and wanted to get one more picture of her. She tried so hard to smile pretty but she was getting sicker. Poor thing. I'm such a poop head!! Right after this picture she turned around and barfed all over the place!! Oh Masi!! I'm SO SORRY!!! I felt so bad!
So, back to the condo we went.
After a bit, my mom came up to the condo and said she was done for the night. She said she would stay with Masi if I wanted to go back to the beach. HOW NICE!! I totally took advantage of that! I headed back right then! Don't worry, my sick child was bathed and in bed asleep by this time :o) so were Tyke and Lexie. YES!I went back out and sat with my dad and Jett by the fire. We had a great time just relaxing by the fire and savoring every moment. This is one of my favorite times in Cannon Beach. It was so quite and peaceful.
