We had a great weekend at the coast this weekend. It was the Daddy-Daughter campout for our ward. I got to take my 3 lovely little girls, set up our tent and have a blast at the coast with some good friends. Life is great. Around Pacific City, Oregon we can take our cars out on the beach. How cool. We took our mini-van in some spots we probably shouldn't have and got awefully lucky to only get stuck once. Some fine souls in a Jeep 4x4 were kind enough to pull us out...then we couldn't get the strap un-hooked from the chassis. I cut it with a knife, and the remainder is still dangling under the car. I'm not quite sure how I'll eventually get that out. War-wound, I say.
So, looking at the photo collage here, you see the loveley ladies we were blessed to spend the weekend with. My little ones, Brooke, Moriah and Emery. Lilly and Isabella Gentile along with their cool dad were crazy enough to ride in the same car with us. Not sure that was wise on their part, but we sure loved it!!!
The middle-right picture is Moriah and Brooke being "Mermaids", burying their legs in the sand. Bottom-left cracks me up. They found a dead sea-gull on the beach, so they buried it and the picture is when they insisted that they have a graveside memorial complete with prayer. Bottom-middle is the huge sand-dune on the North side of this beach. Those specs on the hill are people. If your resolution was good enough (click on image for larger), you'd see Moriah in the middle of that hill with sand in her eye. Michael Gentile was kind enough to sit there with her for a good 15 minutes or more while trying to help get sand out of the eye while she screamed like a...well, like a little girl. She got sand stuck in her eye at least 3 main times on this trip. Poor kid. Apparently her eyes are sand magnets. The hill's a pretty tough climb, but the view from the top (bottom-right picture) is well worth it. I highly recommend Pacific City. Great weather like we had is a key element as well. I recommend that, too. :-)
