Camping with Family on the Oregon Coast

Billy and Maggie camped with us for the first time on the beach. Billy is helping me husk some corn on the cob for our dinner.

One evening we had dutch oven cooking at Anne, Matt, Megan and Andy's camp site.

We celebrated two birthdays: Andy's and Billy's

We had some camera fun at the campfire. Have you tried "light drawing?" Put your camera on "bulb" setting and use a tripod. Have family members draw in the air with a tiny flashlight or other light source. It's not as easy as it looks!

Jesse is enjoying the beach at Seal Rock near our campground.

Jumping the surf!

Billy and Maggie had never played in the ocean on the Oregon Coast before! Kate took them out for a dip.
