Beach Trip

I had the wonderful opportunity to spend the past week with my Dad. He lives in Utah and so we don't get to see each other more than a couple times a year. For most of our visit we stayed at the beach near Lincoln City. Spencer was able to spend Saturday through Monday with us and then he and Austin headed home while I stayed with our other two boys. Our weather was amazing!! Very little rain and no wind. Having no wind was actually a little bitter-sweet; we really looked forward to flying our kites, but truly there was not enough wind to do so. I found that unusual for the beach. We did get to play on the beach though and the waves were huge this time of year. Austin thought it would be fun to run from them, but he couldn't. Spencer brought his Dad's boat and so we went crabbing and caught a total of 14 keepers. We also hit the outlets in Lincoln City and found some amazing deals. Every evening I really enjoyed watching the sunsets. Because it was so clear out, the sky lit up so nice and bright. Once we came home from the beach my Dad had the opportunity to go sturgeon fishing with my Father in law. I was really wishing that he would be fortunate enough to catch one, but it just wasn't the case. I'm starting to wonder if he believes me that there really are sturgeon in the river. Regardless, I know he had fun and we had a great time with him. Unfortunately, my Step Mom wasn't able to come this trip, but we missed her greatly!
