Makenna Returns to Westport Beach

Saturday Olympia saw the temperature climb into the high 80's and without AC we opted to seek cooler temperatures elsewhere. Rarely does the Washington coast reach the mid/high 70s and cloudless, but Saturday was our lucky day!! So we were off to Westport for a day trip!

Upon arrival we set up camp after getting a workout pushing the stroller through the deep soft sand.

Hunger struck. Picnic at the beach can be a challenge when keeping the sand out of SANDwiches! :) Some sand was consumed.

After refueling we took off for a walk waterside. Makenna was so happy to explore and find tiny treasures in the sand.

She love love loves the wind. Our little nature baby, I mean toddler, couldn't be happier than spending a fun filled day outside in the sand, under the sun, with the wind in her hair and her parents by her side!

These days she seems to always be on the move and into EVERTHING! The beach was no different. Picking up rocks, digging in the sand, throwing things into the water, and placing treasures in her pail kept us all busy!

A little nose-dive in the sand left Makenna covered in clumps of wet sand and a HUGE smile on her silly face!

Now & Then.
Amazing the difference a year and a couple months can make. We first took Makenna to Westport Beach when she was only 9 days old to escape 90+ degrees. This time there was no marine layer to contend with only blue skies for as far as the eye can see!

Towards the end of our beach day we took the B.O.B. out for a spin in sand.

On the stroll we found horses! Makenna was captivated.

All the excitement, fresh air, movement of the stroller, lull of the ocean and not having a nap knocked Makenna right out!

Before heading home we stopped in Westport for dinner at the Fish Shack and ice cream for desert. Makenna was a big fan of the Blackberry ice cream. As you can see she had her eye on whoever was eating it. :)
