Down By The Bay

While camping at Nahalem Bay, Oregon this weekend, we took our grandchildren and our cousin on a bike ride to the bay. They had a great time playing in the sand, looking for sticks, exploring, throwing things in the water and climbing on rocks and logs.

Loralei loved climbing over the logs

She's considering whether or not she can get over this one

Loralei with her walking stick...she's the only one who didn't eventually use the walking stick as a weapon.

Gabriel climbing on the logs and sticks


Gideon...and yet more climbing...he is carrying a "piece of the road" he found to throw into the water


Micah is very strong...we did not allow THIS stick to become a weapon!


Gabriel looking for a better stick


Strong Micah again


Gideon...he did manage to pick up this big stick, which also was not allowed to become a weapon.
