We spent last weekend camping at the beach and did we ever have fun. So much fun we were completely exhausted!! Thankfully we had reserved yurts back in December so we weren't exactly totally roughing it - which was somewhat necessary for the kiddos to get decent sleep (and their parents!). The kids enjoyed having breakfast together Saturday morning!
This was Heidi & Lauren's first camping trip. They did pretty well overall - although the first night was a bit rough for both of them!
Beverly Beach has a great kids' playground so we spent a lot of time there. Allison can actually do the monkey bars now. Nate really is a monkey!
Heidi was playing with markers with the big girls in the yurt!
We took the bigger kids on a nature walk through the forest. They loved exploring the big trees!
The nature walk ended at the playground - where they got to play. Again. Kid's dream!
After a little rest time we all headed to the beach to play in the sand and ride fat tire bikes (Jon rented them from the bike shop he works at).
It was windy enough to fly a kite - and Jodi loves catching Nate & Mark flying a fancy fairy kite!
These two love the sand, rocks & water!
Dinner prep was rather long - it took forever to get a big pot of water boiling to cook the pasta. Nate (the bank robber) kept our two entertained in front of the fire while Mark & Bekah cooked!
On Sunday we had one more trip to the playground - this was Lauren's first time and she had fun following Allison all over!
Five super fun kiddos!
We wrapped up our trip with a stop in downtown Newport to see the sea lions - I have never seen so many! Heidi was saying 'Arf!Arf!Arf!' all day afterwards. And hot chocolate to warm up before the drive home!
