For the 4th year in a row, Seabrook’s Doggie Days proved to be one of the most enjoyable events held at Seabrook. Over 50 dog owners showed up with their pups for a day of fun and games on Crescent Park and had a great time.

This year’s Doggie Days was organized by one of our homeowners, Ann Kjelsberg, who is opening a doggie shop at Seabrook over the summer. Doggies from all different breeds and sizes took part in shows, games, contests, and won prizes in many categories including – smartest dog, best trained dog, fastest eating dog, etc.

The weather could not have been more perfect as a bunch of well-dressed pouches ruled over Seabrook all weekend. This year’s record attendance was a great preview for “Salty Dog”, the new Seabrook doggie gift shop that will be opening its doors very soon.

If you didn’t have a chance to join us last weekend, you’re definitely in the right place! Below is a very cute slideshow of most dogs gracing Seabrook with their presence for the 2010 Doggie Days. A big thanks to everyone that shared their pictures with us, it was great meeting so many cute pups on the park.

The 5th Annual Easter Egg Hunt took place last weekend on Crescent park and was truly a great time for everyone there! Around a hundred kids from all over the Pacific Northwest raced around Seabrook’s biggest green grass park hunting for Easter eggs and other small treasures. Three lucky egg hunters found Golden Eggs which were strategically placed in harder to find areas.

The weather looked gloomy right until the point when the Easter egg hunt was supposed to start. Then it cleared up and families with their kids, dogs, egg baskets, and cameras spent a fun couple of hours around the park and around Seabrook. We had many guests staying at some of our vacation rentals, as well as Seabrook homeowners that are by now regulars at these events. Easter Bunny was there too to take pictures with this year’s egg hunters and put everyone in a good mood with his goofy-looking costume.

We have gathered a bunch of pictures from some of the families present at the event, and are posting them here for you in case you couldn’t be there. Once again, Happy Easter to all and we hope to see you at the 6th Annual Easter Egg Hunt at Seabrook next year!

At the end of June, all the families at Seabrook came out to enjoy a fun day at Crescent Park full of games and laughter. Little kids were zipping by finishing gunny-sack relays in record times while their parents struggled to keep up with the pace. Some played ping-pong, others attempted badminton, and some just enjoyed the sunshine. But it wasn’t until tug of war came around when the adults showed off their true strength in pulling, slipping, growling, funny-face-making, and everything else you can imagine happening at such a face-off.

The best part is that we have it all on camera. An exclusive, all-encompassing slideshow is at your fingertips with the click of a mouse. And there is always something fun to do at Seabrook. This last weekend the third annual Fun Run took place and the weather could not have been more perfect! For more on how the run went and who the winners were, check back later this week as we will have it all right here at the Seabrook Blog.

We upload all the pictures on our flickr website so stop by anytime and throw a glance at what is happening at Seabrook. If you were lucky enough to be out on the coast, maybe you will be in one of the photos. This weekend we are making beachy arts and crafts at the park. Next week the glorious children’s bike parade will rule our beach town. Until then, however, browse our sets and galleries for the best out of Seabrook!

Need some family quality time at Seabrook? On Saturday, July 25th, Crescent Park will be the host of numerous fun activities for all families interested in having a good time. Either show off your volleyball skills or kick some butt in a tug of war – there are plenty of games to choose from!

So far we’ve got Badminton, Ping Pong, Basketball, Shuffleboard, Volleyball, Bocce Ball, and Tug of War planned, unless you have something else in mind and we can add it to the list.

When you’re done being active for the day, join us for a pot luck dinner right on Crescent Park. Bring your own dish if you want and enjoy the music and drinks while watching the sunset. It is bound to be another perfect day at Seabrook so make sure to join us on the field.

Last weekend Seabrook hosted Doggie Days – a fun event mingling dogs and their owners for a leisurely parade around town. Over 25 adorable dogs of all breeds and sizes gathered at Crescent Park dressed in the latest (dog) fashion to kick off a fun day of picture taking, parading, and playing fetch.

And while all the dogs looked spectacular, one lucky puppy was chosen a winner and took home a 5″x7″ profesionally taken picture under the Crescent Park tent. Sadie, a black lab from Seattle, was crowned the day’s champion much to her owner’s pleasure, Becky McAuley.

Professional photographer Morgan Miller did the honors and took pictures not just of Sadie, but of all the other dogs present to enjoy a wonderful weekend at Seabrook. For more pictures of the event, we have created a special slideshow for your pleasure. Just click on this link and re-live Seabrook’s Doggie Days Parade through the lens!

With the intent of increasing drainage from the lawn at Crescent Park, the Seabrook Landscaping crew initiated construction on April 7th, 2008. After significant measures were taken, including re-grading the soil (shown in picture two and three), hydroseed was applied Wednesday, April 23rd.

“Hydroseeding,” according to AllAboutLawns.com, “is a process by which seed, water, fertilizer, fiber mulch, and sometimes lime are blended together in a tank and applied onto a prepared lawn area through a spraying hose. Once sprayed, the wet fiber mulch will help create a bond to the soil and provide the seeds with a water retaining blanketing-coat while protecting it from sunlight, wind, and erosion. As the grass seeds begin to germinate, the fiber mulch will slowly decompose adding nutrients to the soil.”

Additionally, Greg ‘Woo’ Haskins, Director of Seabrook Landscaping, said, “Although the lawn will not be ready for use for another 4-6 weeks (weather depending), we should see a blanket of green appearing over the next couple of days.” Haskins continued by explaining, “The process has been very smooth and we have not been confronted with an obstacle we couldn’t conquer.” He concluded the interview with, “I am confident we have accomplished exactly what we set out to do.”

Great work Seabrook Landscaping and thanks for making our park an even better place to play!
