Beach Reunion


Jared's sister, Nicole and her cute little family who live in CA, happened to be on the Oregon Coast for the week of July 4th. We already had plans for the 4th, but juggled our schedule around and managed to swing a visit out to Pacific City on Thursday, July 3rd. Our family had not been to this coastal town, so that was a bonus for us. Apparently Nicole's in-laws have a tradition of renting a house on the beach and the extended family gathers and hangs out for some R&R. It was really great of Rose and Jack (Nicole's in-laws) to allow us to crash their party and share their BBQ feast and let us play on their private beach for a few hours.
The last time I was at the beach, was in March and I was 7 months pregnant. So this was Calvin's first trip to the ocean. He slept through most of it, of course. Karcyn loved her "partial" freedom. Jared had to run down the beach after her a few times. She also loved flinging sand as she dug around with the shovels. I think the waves knocked her down early on and she decided she had had enough of that. The big boys had a blast in the surf, taunting the big waves to come get them. And a couple of waves did!
