Have you heard...

???????

It's Cody's Birthday!

Okay, okay. Its not really today, its tomorrow....the 4th of September.

But with the time change from here to the Philippines, its actually tomorrow there....

making it Cody's Birthday today!

Joel really wanted to celebrate Cody's birthday,

so we made a sign for him!

He carefully carried the sign around, making us take pictures of him with it. He also placed it in bushes, on the ground and in our hands.

So from all us here in the McCrimmon family....
Happy Birthday Cody!

Chasing Birds

Watch out birdies!

Joel is coming for you!

Come back Joel!!!

Gotcha!

Back at his old tricks. Poor birds. They never had a moments peace.

Sunset Walk on the Promenade

Seaside has a beautiful promenade stretching for 1.5 miles (2.4 km) which we would walk twice each evening.

 

 

Both boys passed out during our walk-but who could blame them? It was after 9pm!

Family Shots

 

 

 

 

Rockaway Beach

We pulled over on the side of the road to find this lovely view.

 

Micah decided to wake up and join us and the scenery. Joel missed it.

On the way home, he caught the view and we were serenaded with "wows!"

 

 

Both boys were loosing it on the way home, so we stopped at Rockaway beach. We let the boys out to feed and run around. Since it was dinner time, Dan and I went in search of food. It was a small "town" that basically closed down at 5. Oh, yah. Did I mention that it was 5:30 already? We happened upon a small fish and chip shop that was closed, but the owner was still around. He was nice enough to drop a few things into the deep fryer for us. Probably the best fish I have EVER tasted. Not too much coating! We all devoured it---Joel included.

Double feeding time at the zoo. And yes, Joel is drinking breastmilk out of a bottle. It was pumped for Micah (to try an suffice him in the car---utter failure) and I didn't want to waste precious liquid gold, so Joel drank it. Dan refused to feed Joel out of a bottle, so I was stuck doing double duty. Go breastmilk!

 

Kite Flying

This is probably the only picture we have of the kite flying properly in the air. The rest of the time it was killer kite.

It would swoop in circles and come after the person who had launched it in the air. I missed the picture of it happening because I was feeding Micah at the time.

 

But Joel prefered the kite flying in circles anyway. He thought it was hillarious. My mom, not so much. Especially after it hit her in the butt.

Shadows

Can you guess who's who?

 

 

 

Random Signs

Dan liked that the American tsunami signs had a person on them.

Yep....if a tsunami is coming, make for the bar. Which is right on the water. So you'll probably die. But Dan pointed out, at least you would die drunk. There's always an upside.

No walking your babies to the left. Too bad Micah.

What do you say to something like that?

For those who want to be green---even in death. Just recycle your bodies this way!
(seriously laughed out loud for miles after reading this one!)

Just in case you were wondering! No coins are necessary to operate stream. And yes, it was a real stream. Who would have thought that you would need a sign to let people know that?
