It's been almost a month since her first birthday (oops), how time flies!
Hazel's real birthday (June 21st) was celebrated along with Father's Day, in Seaside. We drove over to Canon Beach Sunday afternoon. Had lunch at a pizza parlour. I went to the bead store while Owen and Hazel went to the playground. Then we all went and got ice cream cones (Hazel snuck a few licks off of our cones). We stayed the night at the Rivertide Suites. In the morning, we packed up to leave, and went to walk around Seaside. Hazel rode the carousel, then we went to the beach where she walked in the sand and touched the freezing cold ocean! We drove home during her afternoon nap and quickly changed clothes and drove to the Spaghetti Factory in Portland. We had dinner with my mom and Owen's parents. Between salad and the main course, Hazel took a walk around the restaurant and flirted with all of the tables. When it came time to sing happy birthday, everyone in the restaurant sang to her. This made me tear up a bit, because I'm sappy like that. She enjoyed her own vanilla ice cream.

The following weekend we had her birthday party with her friends. Lots of little kids came to play in the water fountain, eat cake and help her open presents! After a full day of fun you can imagine she was exhausted!!

Sunday on the Oregon Coast
We went down to Newport on Sunday to see my dad for his birthday. On the way we stopped at Fogerty Creek State Park. It's not a place we've ever visited before and it's certainly not noticable when you're driving on 101.
I think it's going to be one of our favorite beaches from now on! It's gorgeous! The sand is actually granular and doesn't get in your shoes like most of the other beaches, there are cliffs and rock outcrops and a stream. It looks like a good wading beach on hot days too!
I didn't take any photos of the actual park, but on the other side of the highway there are picnic benches in case it's too windy to eat lunch on the beach! I'm so excited to spend a few more hours here to explore!!
For a really early bday present my dad gave Owen a kite, so on the way home we stopped to fly it and also take in the sunset in Newport!
