Back in the summer in between birthdays, some friends of ours got a camping spot at a state park called Cape Disappointment. They had some days that they weren't going to us, and so we got a chance to take their spot. The weather was perfect that weekend and it was anything but disappointing.
On the way there, we stopped at a boba shop in Astoria, OR.
Our campsite was one amongst dozens at the park but it was possibly the best one. It was a mere thirty yards away from the beach, so the kids spend a lot of time there.
There were castles being built.
There were lots of Dungeness crab shells on the beach and they were used in the structures as decorations.
Digging in the sand never gets old!
Someone got a little sandy.
We went camping with our friends and the kids right now are really into kick ball. So we played a round on the beach. The challenge was that they drew up the baseball diamond themselves, but the distances were not that similar to a real diamond. The distance from home to 1st base was incredibly long and then from first to second was super short. It made for an interesting game!
There were also big boulders on the site and Gabe enjoyed climbing those.
It was never boring in there!
There was also a fair amount of hanging around. Luckily, the burn ban had not gone into effect yet, so there was often a fire going even in the middle of the day.
The nights were pretty with a very full moon.
There were some mosquitos so on goes the mosquito netting.
For lunch, we had Pillsbury crescent rolls that were baked and toasted over the fire.
In the evenings after dinner, we would go for a walk on the beach.
And then come back to the site for s'mores.
On the last morning, the kids were TIRED and had a hard time waking up.
On the two hour drive back home, Gabe zonked out...a sign of a good camping trip!
