Beach...Again.

 We got to the beach and noticed the tide was really low, we went down to explore and found these awesome starfish on the rocks.  They were so big!

 Here is the same rock in the background a few hours later.  I love the hand prints in the sand.

 We started a fire to roast marshmallows and made some smores before we left.

 One last group shot.  It was such a beautiful day at the beach we didn't want to leave!

Oregon Coast

 My friend Jillyn and I packed up the kids and headed to the beach yesterday.  The weather was going to be perfect, cloudy in the morning and a sunny afternoon. 

 We gathered driftwood to make a fire, Jacob built us a perfect fire pit.  We finally got a small fire going and enjoyed it until all the wood was almost gone.

 There was a huge log about 15 yards away and we rolled it on top of our little fire.  We were laughing so hard!  It actually started on fire and was doing really well until the fire underneath started to go out.  We needed more driftwood, but the people next to us were hogging all the wood.  ha!  Next time we will bring firewood and and s'mores.

 The kids did what they do best, play in the sand and build lots of awesome forts.

The Beach

 We planned a day to go to the beach, looked at the weather report but went anyway.  I was nervous on our way there it was pouring, but when we got there it was perfect!  No wind, no rain, awesome.  About 10 minutes after we arrived it started sprinkling.  It rained on and off for the rest of the time but it was a light mist, nobody seemed to care!

 The boys!

 I love the perfect kid formation as they're entering the freezing cold water!

 lunch time.

 Fun trips like this are the result of our early morning workouts at the gym conversations.  So much fun to be with Jill and the kids.
