Uncategorized Colm had been wanting to ride beach bikes, so he and Sean went and did that while Liam and I went and explored the sea life at Haystack Rock.
(Project 365-8/30/10)
There was a nature conservancy group there with binoculars and telescopes so that you could look at the birds way up on top of Haystack Rock. There are SOOOO many birds that nest there!
Sean has some really great pictures on his camera of the boys flying kites that I will hopefully get up soon too. I don’t know about most beaches, but Oregon beaches are WINDY and a fantastic place to fly a kite.

They never did really finish their sand castle and then the tide came in and washed it all away…all that hard work.

Colm got his new violin today! Yes, he used to play the cello and before that he played the violin and now we are starting over. Long story short…he started the violin when he wasn’t quite ready, then he decided to play the cello a few years later, but then we moved and finding a cello teacher became an impossible task, so now we are back to violin. Let’s hope it sticks this time.
