Oregonians go to the coast.

Not the beach.

Here are roughly a bazillion pictures from our evening yesterday.

It was beyond lovely.

Lils and I chasing "ghakies". (birds...and the same word for toothpaste)

Me, thinking: I love the beach.

This is picture is my all time favorite. It completely embodies Chad and Lily's craziness together.

We enjoyed the beautiful location with our good amigos.

Lily and Leia, always up to something.

Somewhat ironic, because we often call these two the 'seagulls' when they are together around food.

The gang, enjoying our lovely fire.

Leia let Lily borrow the sled.

She was completely covered in sand and salt water after the crazy ride, but you can tell by her face she really didn't mind.

Waves can be sneaky.

The sun put on a great show.

All is well that ends with a fire, on the beach, with the ones you love most.

{and you come home with sand everywhere smelling like camp fire}
