The Oregon Coast

August 5-10th

Our last week of vacation was spent at the beach.
This was our third year coming to Pacific City, OR.
A sleepy little town, but we love the quiet family time.

The weather was overcast when we got there. Of course the day before was really hot. The kids [Darin] were excited to get there kites out!

Our mornings started with a walk to the tidal pool areas.









Then we would go exploring on the sand dune hill.
Climbing up.
Running down.







It is so fun to watch these dory boats come full force up on the sand.

The house we stay in (the lower portion) is the grey in the middle of the brown and single level house.

Then in the afternoon the kids would boogie board.
The family next door had wet suits & stayed in the ocean boogie boarding for hours. The kids really wanted to do it too, so on Tuesday we rented them wet suits and boogie boards. They had the BEST time!

COLD.




SO MUCH WARMER!




I needed a wetsuit just to take pictures. :-)
Darin went out too. A windy day!








The pictures could go on and on. It was such a fun time once again. I'm so thankful for all these moments we get to share together.
