Waltons

Thursday we got up and headed over to a fish farm for minute to let the kids feed the fish. Then headed to a few cool beaches. This was the day we decided to drive up north and find some beaches we've heard about, see which one is best and make camp for the day and evening. We stopped off at the first beach. It was cool, but pretty crowded and about 1/2 mile hike in from the road. That wasn't appealing to have to bring all the coolers and stuff in. So we drove up to the next beach, Hug Point, and it was perfect. Parking lot was right on the beach, a few stairs down and you were in the sand. There was a great big rock that blocked the wind. So we brought in all our stuff, changed the kids into their swimsuits and set up camp.

When the tide went out, we went around the big rock and found a great place to explore. This little stream was flowing right to the ocean. It was gorgeous!

Wednesday we got up and got ready to explore more of the area. It also happened to be my birthday. I was very spoiled getting to be with my most favorite in-laws. They all spoiled me with very thoughtful gifts! Molly just couldn't wait so we opened my gifts before we left for the day. I got a shirt, gift card, jewelry and a new phone! It was a good day!

We got up Tuesday and just hung around the house waiting for Mike to arrive. The kids were set up great with the big circle driveway and their bikes and scooters. Dan brought a great bubble maker kit which the adults had so much fun doing. Blackberries and huckleberries were growing on the property, so we picked those. And took the kids on rides in the wagon that was there. We were perfectly content with being at the house.
