Aquarim and Beach

We had a lot of fun Last week when we went to the beach with the Hayes family.We stayed in a little community just south of Lincoln City called Bella Beach. The First day it was pretty windy and cold but we had some great luck on Friday. We went to the Aquarium in New Port and then to the beach at Otter Rock/ Devils punch bowl State Park. It turned out to be a beautiful day plenty warm to hang out on the beach.

We had an awesome day for the beach it was really warm and light wind.

The ocean was still really cold but that didn't stop my family.

My very crazy(he says rugged) husband going out into the freezing ocean.

He went out pretty far. He is the little speck in the middle of the picture.

The Clay went to join him, fully dressed.

Which one is more Crazy?
The had a chat and jumped some waves.

Peter also did some body surfing.

We had a fire and did foil dinners and smores. Yum!

Carter in Daddy Time out for eating sand again!

I don't know what it is with my kids and eating sand but they would not stop.

I can't even stand a little sand on my food, and they lick it up.
