On Tuesday (8/17/10) we took Levi to the beach and took over 300 photos and videos on my iPhone... the following photo blog is a sufficient summary of the day.
When we first got there we took a look at the beautiful day.
Exploring the beach both near...
...and far
Found a rock
Let the digging begin.

Levi likes to help daddy make sand castles.
"This is how you make it smooth daddy"
"And how to destroy them when you are finished!"
Half-pint half buried!
"Mommy, that's not how you wear it."
"this is!"
Family diggin
Downward facing dog - yoga pose
Beach bum!
More diggin
Splits!
"Wa wa?"
"Ccccccoooold!"
one second after this photo, Levi took a head over heals plunge into the water and, thus ended his water fun for the day!
After a day at the beach, no beach trip is complete without dinner at Camp 18 on the way home! It is a restaurant/old logging museum and I think used to be a site for a logging mill decades ago. When I was young we used to always stop here on the way home and eat, so we took Levi.
Levi liked to color (which means he dumped the bucket of crayons then picked them up and put them back in only to redump the bucket. This went on till most were on the floor and the waitress had to help pick them up because they were in her way.... Sorry waitress!)
Outside they had many carvings from wood, and Levi found Smokey the Bear, and learned that
only HE could prevent forest fires!
He also found a new friend, the logger!
Levi stared at this guy and wouldn't look a way for a while! (there is a video at the bottom too that is funny!)
And of course Levi didn't let this guy out of sight! (another funny video at the bottom)
Bigger view of the restaurant.
Old machinery
An old crane.
An old mill I think....
Other ancient pieces.
Big ol' Wagon.
Little ol' Levi
Old fire engine!
Over all, our trip was a huge success, we played on the beach at Cannon Beach, then looked at shops. We then went to Seaside and walked around and went to the beach. When Levi looked like he could handle no more, we left went to Camp 18 then home. It was a wonderful trip for the three (or four) of us and was relaxing too! Thanks for checking in on our little trip, hope you enjoy the videos below as well!
Levi loves daddy's shoes and putting things on his head. What could be better? Notice the haircut as well? Daddy cut it last night. We call it the "Rodenbeck Buzz". For those of you who don't know the Rodenbecks, they have two boys that get this haircut from daddy all the time. Levi decided after seeing them last weekend, it was the perfect choice.
