Steve's family, Grandma, Grandpa, Clarka's kids, and I had an awesome Memorial Weekend at Lincoln City/Olivia Beach. It wasn't relaxing, but it was great to get away from the rainy country. The weather was just perfect!
Friday: After the kids got done with school, we made the 2 hour trip to the coast. After getting lost to find our beach house we settled in. That evening we enjoyed the sunset and our collection of shells and sandy feet began. Ended the evening with hot tubbing and Animal Channel.

These blue, alien-like organisms covered the beach; they are swept onto the beach by the hightides. They have venom and tenticles, but are not a type of jellyfish.

Amber is so cute!
Saturday: It was great to sleep in, but the day began earlier then expected. I was left home to work on schoolwork (no break for me). I was bummed, but got it done quickly so I wouldn't miss high tide.

Sunday: We attended church at the local church. After lunch and the loudest quiet time I've experienced, we played at the park and enjoyed the beach. We enjoyed the sunset while roasting marshmallows.

While at the beach, I enjoyed not only family time, but the beauty of the Earth. I was able to ponder on what I am thankful for and appreciate God's beautiful world he provided for all of us. The wonder of it all.
