Linoln City September 2010

With the end of summer quickly approaching I decided we'd better get to the beach again. One day early in September was forecast to be 70 and sunny in Lincoln City so I loaded up my kids and Laura and her kids and we headed out. The morning was beautiful and we had a lot of fun. (Well after Laura and I were able to haul all of our stuff and kids down the beach. We did get some sympathy and help from perfect strangers). It did cool down quickly later that afternoon so we packed up and headed home, but not before getting a good day's worth of playing in the sand.

This area is one of my favorites. The "D" river runs through the beach here and for some reason so many people won't wade through the river to the other side, so if you cross you have a bit more privacy. Plus the "river" (the world's shortest, supposedly) is really mellow and fun for the kids to play in.

Laura was a good sport and stood in the sand for a long, long time so Boyd and Zane could bury her.
Nora--she's so full of life. Always eager to have fun and up for an adventure.
