The Beach!!!

Of course being this close to the ocean we had to spend time there. AWWWW.....the ocean. We love it there. Jaxen went in the water a few times but decided that he would rather play in the sand. It was a good thing that the campground we were at had showers because he had covered himself from top to bottom in mud. But he sure had fun! Kaeryn loves the water and would run up and down chasing or running away from the waves. This was the first time we actually got to play in the water. The ocean water in washington is just to cold and the places we went to had a strong under current. We were only able to dip our feet in. This beach was by the little city of cresent city. It was only a few miles away from where we were camping. It was so beautiful. And not crowded at all. The kids loved being able to run around and play as much as they wanted while they were there. The first time at the beach Jaxen would run up and down away from the waves. It was so cute. He was imitating his big brother and sister only he didn't want to go into the water as much. We got the kids sand buckets and shovels for the next time and Jaxen had fun digging in the dirt. Ron helped Tristan make sand castles and I would help Jaxen. We would build one and then Jaxen would knock it down like a tower of blocks. He had so much fun doing this he wouldn't stop until I told him I wanted to go into the water. Kaeryn had found some pretty rocks and a few shells. I was surprised that there really wasn't any shells along the beach. There were crab shells all over, but not that many other shells. Which was fine, we had more fun playing in the water. We were there over the forth of July and first went to the beach to watch the fireworks but the fog came in so we moved to the harbor. It was still foggy but we could see the fireworkd better there than we would have at the beach. It was still fun. This was definitly a wonderful family adventure! We can't wait for the next one!
