Oregon Coast

Have you ever wonder why it is refer to as the Oregon Coast rather the Oregon beaches like in California. I have a good guess. The weather. So on Thursday we went to the Coast. We drove to Seaside had lunch and the candy store and then made our way to Tillomook Cheese Factory. With a stop at Rockaway Beach. As we traveled on Hwy 101 the rain was just dropping on us in buckets. Kyle not thinking that it would not dry enough for us to get out. But when we got to Rockaway Beach the rain let up for 40 minutes where we were able to get out and play in the sand. Grandma had gotten the kids sand buckets and kite to use at the beach. I had them roll up their pants and get their flip flops on and play in the sand. We didn't attempt the kites because I think the kids would of flying themselves the wind was blowing so hard.

We set Karlee on the sand, and she acted as if she was standing on hot coals and was grasping at Kyle to pick her back up. She spent the remaining time on the beach in Kyle's arms. I wonder why she didn't like sand this time?

As you can see from Kallie's coat that the wind was really blowing- but she is playing it up a little bit which was so funny to watch. At one point she had fallen over because of the wind.

Here the kids are trying to enjoying the sand and build some sand castles, but some were not enjoying it that much. Serena came up with the idea to go next to rocks, which was a great idea because the wind not right on top of you there and the kids enjoyed the sand more.

I tried to get them all to look at me and say cheese.
This is the result.
But they are having fun and didn't want to leave when it was time to go.

My sister Serena and I.
Serena was able to come with us to the coast.
It was a lot of fun to have her come.
