Harris Beach, OR

-







My children were so excited to get to the beach and find shells. We stopped at the first beach on our path, called Harris Beach. It was cold and windy. My children rambled along the beach looking for shells and sand dollars, but could only find a few broken shells.

My daughter and I got our feet wet in the chilly water. My daughter was scared of the waves and wouldn't go out too far. Grandma had warned her about the sneaker waves that are common along the Oregon Coast and she started calling every wave a sneaker wave! Speaking of waves, I found a star fish and bent over to pick it up when an unexpected wave came and got me all wet.

Before we left the beach my children found a hill with a lot of squirrels, and wanted to play with them. The squirrels wanted food, but I wouldn't let my children feed them like several of the other travelers were! I know...mean Mom, but I hate it when people feed the wild animals and the animals become dependent on human food!

My 1st Half Marathon of 2013!

-
Image
I ended 2012 with a GAIN (weight that is) but I started 2013 with a BANG and ran a half marathon yesterday (well 15.1 miles actually)! And my children both ran a 10K (6.2 miles). I am so proud they run with me. The race was inside the Olympic oval which was fun to see. I love my BLING (below). My next half marathon is in 19 days! It will be a FUN run and I cannot wait to run it. I ran 6 half marathons last year and I hope to run even more this year. I ran 2 miles more than a half marathon because the line to turn in the timing chip was long. Funny thing about it is my friend knew she was two laps behind me. Because I kept running so did she. She was so mad when she found out she could have stopped earlier.  After the race my daughter passed out cold. I think she is ready for a day of rest after 3 days of snowboarding and a day of running.

Fun in Florida at Walt Disney World!

My children and I spent nine days in Florida at Walt Disney World with my best friend. We had fun, but it is good to be back in the dry heat! My children and I cannot stand the humid weather! The last time I was in Walt Disney World was 15 years ago. I loved it. I decided it is far too big of a place when you have small children. Disneyland is so much better for the young ones because it is smaller.
