My brother, his wife and three little girls visited us for a few days in July. We don’t get to see them often enough, so it was a real treat to have them at our home. We also got to venture out to the Oregon coast together. We spent many of the daylight hours on the beach at Lincoln City. Then we went up to Pacific City where we checked in to our hotel, then got dinner at the "Doryland Pizza Co." Then the cool part, we drove out on the beach at Cape Kiwanda and lit a campfire. We roasted some S'mores. Melissa's parents and sister Heather were also able to join us. It was really cool.
The next day, we climbed the sand dune on the north end of Kiwanda. It's pretty challenging to get to the top. The funny part, it's a lot easier for kids to get up there. As an adult, your body weight makes your feet sink way down with every step, so with a 3-foot stride, you literally only make probably 3 or 4 inches of progress. By contrast, lighter kids seem to breeze right up the hill. Not fair, man. Especially considering I ended up carrying 1 or a couple at a time! It was cool to experience the summit with Barlow and his little ones along with my little ladies. True dat.
