Camping at the Coast

This weekend was amazing. We all had so much fun, even Koda thought she was in heaven. We went camping with our friends the Wilkinsons and had a blast. And considering we didnt have spots reserved, we found an amazing place that we will definitely go to again.

We were going to go to this great lake in the mountains that is first come first serve (hence the lack of reservations), but due to a wild fire 15 miles from there, the campground was closed. With a day to re-plan, but a horrible reservation site, we decided to just go anyways and hope for the best. We woke up early on friday morning to head out towards Tillamook. We found this awesome county camp site called Barview Jetty just north of Girabali. It was great and we got some big awesome spots.

He was so tired by the end of the day.

We set up camp and poked around the campground. We found a cool sand dune that we had to climb. And I got this tent for my birthday to help make Camping a bit more comfortable. We called it Hotel de' Aida. Its a sweet 10 man tent that Justin can stand up in. Yes, I know we are only a little bunch of 4. And no, I am not going to have 8 kids to stuff this thing full. Its just roomy and comfortable and I love it.

We went to the beach on Saturday and it was perfect. It was 75 degrees, sunny, beautiful and no wind. It was perfect. The Oregon coast is beautiful. Beckham was loving the attention from their girls. Tin foil dinners and bon fires. Its what camping is all about right. That and Rhys lounging in their hammock. He loves to chill. And Koda took it upon herself to make herself comfy around the campfire after the kids went to bed.
