So Drew and I decided to spend Labor Day Weekend in Portland with my family. Usually we dedicate this weekend to an annual camping trip, but this year we decided a trip to the coast sounded a bit better! SO we picked-up Ava from school and headed west. I was amazed how beautiful the weather was the whole weekend.
On Saturday we woke up early and drove an extra hour to Indian Beach. This is my favorite beach on the Oregon Coast because it is small and private, and it has the best tide pools! When we got there, it was low tide, perfect for tide pools so we grabbed the camera and took all the kids on an ocean life adventure!
We found orange, brown and purple starfish. Ava loved it but some of the other cousins were afraid of them. We also found sea anemone and hermit crabs! It was so fun to hike around with the kids in tow - discovering new things! Ava was particularly interested in all the sea shells littering the beach at low tide. We found a few good ones.
Well, as I mentioned before, this day was unlike any other I have experience on the Oregon coast. It was HOT! We all got a little pink, and at one point, we adults decided we needed a dip in the frigid water. After our toes were numb, we enjoyed body surfing and jumping huge waves! It was awesome! I just wish I had a board!
The rest of the weekend included watching the BSU game, sushi (YUM!), shopping, geocache treasure hunts, Multnoma Falls and playing games. It was a great weekend! Thanks to Mom and Dad for all the great food, and Ashley and Jayson for letting us crash at their house! Love you guys!
