Lots of fun on the Oregon Coast

A highlight for Jaxon was getting to crab w Uncle Danny.

Visited Newport

 This is Mitch and I trying to take a pix and here comes "Wedge"

Oh course had to visit Rogue.... a couple times

 And visit the smelly sea lions

 Measuring up to Sasquatch 

Lots of Beach Time

Family Game Night and shenanigans instigated by these two girls

 Now you see them

Now you don't!!

Oh young'uns!!! Someday they may know their limits!!

A yummy Irish Dinner on a beautiful evening 

after a day of enjoying the beach and crabbing on a historically warm day! 

And there was lots of hot tubbing too

Squishy anemones

 Uncle Dave finishing up Ethan's saved treat that he forgot and left

Of course we had to send this to Ethan

can't leave well enough alone!!

The Beach and Ocean on an unusally warm day!

It was a crazy phenomenon.. we had been watching the weather and it was consistently in the 60's except for Tuesday, it showed 85, then back to the 60's the rest of the days. We though it was an error, we hoped it wasn't but when Tuesday arrived it was amazingly warm, a perfect day to spend on the beach and in the ocean! 

We all ran to the beach and into the ocean

each with our own special run...…

Tates "run"

In goes Jaxon

There goes Ryan and Uncle Dave

Although the air was warm it was still the Pacific Ocean on the Oregon Coast!!!!

BRRRR

It was such a nice day and it was hard to stay out of the ocean because unlike most days you could actually warm back up once you got out of the water.

Then there's this cute beach girl. Not a lot of ocean time, 

instead hours of supervising and instructing the builders of the sand castles, holes and streams!

And we're off, all headed up the giant sand dune

Up in front of Dave (green shirt) are Ryan, Tate and Jaxon Crawling!

Uncle Dave catching his breath. Hayden shedding some layers.

She's obviously just getting started

Crawling was a necessary option at times

Slowed down just a bit to catch their breath

Well hello cuties!

Posing for a pix before

running down the dune

The views from the top

Lots of exploring to do

  

We volunteered to go sign in and wait for a table at Pelican!

We tried some calamarie

 The Whole Gang - All 16 of us

Pelican did a fabulous job of getting us all at one table and the food and drink were pretty great too!
