We finally had a weekend mostly free so we headed to Cannon Beach to enjoy the nice weather. It isn't very often that the beach has clear sunny skies so we took full advantage of it. When we arrived we had a picnic lunch, watched the ocean waves crash and ducked the flying kites that were crash landing around us. Jenna enjoyed laying the in the shade of her stroller and watching the people stroll by and ended up taking a nap in the moby.
While she took her nap Jeff and I watched closely as tons of kites around us were dropping out of the sky and many times we thought they were going to land and take us out. We began to realize that watching kite flying can be dangerous; especially when the kites are flying out of control and have metal on them. There was a family in front of us that desperately wanted to fly every kite they owned (and they had about 10 of them) and they weren't the best kite flyers I have seen. Every time one failed they brought another one out. We joked that they had a never ending supply. This gave us a good hour of entertainment; especially when one kite got away and flew over the hotel roof nearby (it was recovered). We learned what to not do when flying a kite...but it did provide a lot of good laughs and good entertainment. We look forward to teaching Jenna how to fly kite but we will make sure it is small and we are far away from others.
It was nice to get out of town for a few hours and enjoy the ocean beach. We forget how close the beach is to us sometimes.
