More fun on the beach

I could watch my kids run from the waves all day.  I love their screams and the looks on their faces.

Jonah didn't get in the water much this time, the water was too cold for him.

Hallee had so much fun going back and forth between the water and the sand.

Hallee would get so cold, but she couldn't stop herself from getting in the water every day.

Ataiya, Alexys and Caitlyn loved going in the water together.

We usually stayed at the beach for a couple of hours and then went up for lunch.

Hallee was very proud of her shell collection and wanted to show it to everyone.

Wyatt and Rockwell made a little pool on the beach.

The next day they did it again, but didn't put water in it this time.

Jonah and Cody worked on a swimming pool too.

Everyone had fun with Spikeball.  It is a fun game.

We walked over to Devils Punch Bowl, I thought it called for a selfie!

One day we saw a couple of whales out in the ocean.  I loved seeing the tail coming out of the water.

Ashley and Elena worked on this hut every day.  One day Wyatt and Rockwell helped them. 

Matt helped the girls bring some wood over.  

I don't think any of the boys got in the water more than just their legs. 

EJ, Kyle, Tiff, Gary and Lindy did some surfing.  It was fun to watch them, they all did great.  One day I would like to join them.

Here is a picture of Gary and Lindy. 

It was such a fun trip, it was so hard to leave!  We all stopped at a hotel in Pendelton on the way home.  It was great to break up the drive.  It was Wyatt's birthday so I'm glad he got to have fun at the hotel instead of spending the entire day in the car.

The kids all had fun swimming.  The water was freezing so me, Tiff and Mel just stuck our feet in the water.

Keith got in the water and had fun playing with the kids.

Keith was great and took Damon around the pool.  Damon loved it and so did Keith.  

The next morning we got up and ate breakfast and then drove the rest of the way home. It was hard to come back to real life after such a great vacation!
