This year, Shane and I didn’t camp with everyone else since James was only three weeks old. We got a hotel close to the campground and went over there to sleep, but we spent the rest of our time with everyone at the campground. Saturday morning, Landon woke up and climbed into bed with David in the back of his truck, and somehow the two of them decided they needed breakfast in bed. Landon thought it was pretty cool to eat breakfast in bed!
My mom gave each of the grandkids a little backpack with some fun things for the trip, including a book. Davis got a Lightning McQueen book that he rarely set down from that point on (including when he went to bed).
I always wonder how we need make it down to the beach with so much stuff! It’s always quite a trek from our campsite down the path to the beach with everything. We always seem to use it all! This year, David had the inspiration to bring this HUGE tarp up with him, and his entire forever-long drive from San Jose Friday afternoon/evening to meet us at the coast, he planned out how to put the tarp up against the rock to help block the wind. They set it up by one rock, then ended up moving it by another rock, but it was great!

Setup #2 and the finished product:
Everyone loved playing in the sand, as always. I would say especially the kids, but you can see, many adults are building a huge sandcastle and burying each other in the sand along with the kids.
It’s always interesting trying to balance a full day at the beach without easy access back to our campsite with young kids, especially babies! The babies did great though!
I love the picture of Landon in the tent with James, and look at cute Ethan!!! He has the best little smile!
And of course, we had fun playing in the water. Davis was impossible to get out of the water. Even after being soaked by a wave, he told us, with teeth chattering and blue lips, “Go water again!”
I love this shot of Davis jumping into the water!
Jacob and David were almost as bad as Davis. They always love the big waves! It was a great day at the beach!

Love the typical oregon coast shot where you are all bundled up. love those days. Love your family!
You sure know how to have a good time! By the way, I'm convinced that half of No. Ogden visited the Oregon coast this summer - everyone around here went there in June/July.
