Camping at the Beach

 We go camping once a summer for two nights at Beachside State Park near Newport, Oregon.  This is where I grew up camping.  Two nights is enough for us and this year it rained the second night so it was really enough!  We had a fabulous middle day on the beach so it was all worth it.
 Hanging out in our campsite.


 We had a gorgeous day on the beach.  Almost no wind and warm enough for no coat and even short sleeves for a bit.





 Emma absolutely loves the backpack!  She asks to go in it.  It is also nice because she will fall asleep in it when she is tired.  This is how I got her to nap while we were camping.

 We upgraded to an 8 person tent this year and it was fabulous!  Dan and I have a queen air mattress and then one of the girls on each side of us.  This year there was plenty of room to also have our clothes in with us which was nice.
 I painted Abby's toenails for the first time.  She was so excited.  She would gasp and I would say "What?!?"  and she would say "I forgot my toes were painted!!".  Such a funny girl!
 My mom had her own campsite just a short walk from us.  It was fun to have her there and it was also nice to have her help!



 Emma exploring...





 Abby had to go potty so I said well I guess it is time to go in the water!  We had to explain how you don't go potty in a swimming pool but the ocean and large lakes are okay.  :)

 Emma is also loving being on my shoulders these days. 
 The girls went up and down, around and around, over and over again. 

 Popcorn!!
 Right behind Dan you can see the ocean.
