Field trip to the ocean.

Today we took a "field trip" to the ocean, in the name of Earth Science. We went to Cannon Beach.

At first, Marcus just wanted to play on the small play structure near the Mo's.



Then there might have been a small amount of kite flying. Their Dad helped.





Marcus still digs his hands into the sand, then is surprised when his hands are sandy. Here he's carrying a bucket of water and sand.





There was a little flow of (untreated sewage) water, which of course my kids wanted to play in and near.















Here Marcus is stomping on a bucket. Very popular activity.



Marcus also liked to draw letters in the sand, then scratch them out because they weren't up to his standards.



Meanwhile, Stu and Stuart played with the frisbee we got at Mo's.





Marcus is still busily scratching away.



This had been a perfect lower-case i--it even had a lovely dot. Then he mangled it. That's my boy....
