labor day weekend we were getting really tired of being at home so packed in the car and drove the coast. traffic was super backed up to get to cannon beach (closest beach to portland) so we drove further south to oceanside. not a single parking spot to be found so we apologized to hudson and said how about we go to tillamook factory for some ice cream. super long line there so we said how about we go to mcdonald's for some ice cream. as you can see, he was pretty happy to have his first ice cream cone. he's had plenty of ice cream, but this was first time in cone version. lots of driving to go to mcdonalds, but it was a nice scenic drive and eamon slept almost whole time, so worth it.
just had long weekend visit with granddad. went to washing park and had fun on swings and in the giant sand box.
hudson showing granddad how to play tractors in the snow (salt)
we've tried multiple times to get a family pic. this is best so far. happy family for sure, but we now realize getting a baby and 2.5 year old to sit still and halfway smile is hard. guess thats why people pay professional photographers...
hudson loves his little brother. calls him baby "A". eamon is off to good start growing wise, already wearing 6 month clothes (and some of the 3 month clothes still fits). still got some work to do to catch big brother.
went with granddad to the Enchanted Forrest in Salem. fun park for kids, spent a lot of time on this train that was clearly not designed for 6'3" human folks.
already filling out the car seat
hudson got a big rig from uncle ross's old collection. he's all about cars these days, with a dash of helicopters and airplanes. lots of crashes these days too.
enjoying probably our last hot summer day. we got ripped off this year when it comes to warm weather. such is oregon...
hudson showing off his shrinky-dink creations. you color on clear plasticy material, then cook in oven and it shrinks. he's been making lots of fridge magnets with mom.
finally a solution to bath time water in the eyes! can't see it that well here, but he's got snake eyes
brian and hudson went to the hillsboro airshow with nate. lots of cool planes and helicopters you could walk up to. hudson especially enjoyed the start of show when super loud F-18s flew just above the ground near by then went straight up in the air.
nana came out for some much needed help around the house weeks 1 to 4 of eamon world. was super busy and time flew by! glad we have such good nana/gramma/granddad and grandpa to help out. their grandsons really love them!

Wish we'd known y'all were at the beach on LDW; we were there, too! And not too far from 26. We ended up parking at Tolovana Beach (just S of Cannon Beach) and walking down to Arcadia. I woulda laid my beach towel down in the morning to hold you a parkin' spot. :-)
