Pictures will give you the story...

This week is the kids' spring break. We escaped to the coast with Jason, Caroline, and the girls. We had the most AMAZING weather - not a cloud in the air. It was warm and beautiful. The following pictures a sampling of the fun we had. It was such a wonderful time to watch the kids wonder and play at the beach. Jack had no fear of the water - nor the chill of it. Rynn screamed at excitement to find things on the beach. Eleanor dutifully searched for seashells, and had quite a collection at the end of two days. Molly also loved getting in the water and the waves.














We enjoyed some good food. We tried to see some whales, but to no avail. We got a tour of the coast guard station. The kids did great going to sleep after so much excitement. The adults even indulged in a great afternoon nap the second day. It was a good escape from the routine of "normal" life, and some good memories were made. We only wish we could have had Grammy and Pops join us - maybe next year. We thought of you often, and took many of the pictures with you in mind!

Gretchen, looks like fun. But I had to laugh--I would never see someone on the beach in Santa Barbara wearing rain boots!

Rain boots...for certain on the Oregon coast! There will be no boots in June....we will be running on the hot sand! Great pictures! I, too, wish we had been there! Snow here!
