Our first camping trip of the year

Last weekend we went on our first camping trip of the season. We went to a place called Cape Dissapointment. It is in a city called Ilwaco. It is on the border of washington and oregon, we were on the washington side. We went with my sisters and there family. So as we left on the friday the 29th is was a beautiful day ninety degree's and so i thought that for sure it would be sunny there. Well we are driving along and as we get closer it temperature starts dropping to the sixty's and high fifty's. Now this car ride was about a five hour car ride and Carson wasn't making it very much fun to drive. He better get used to it because are going to be doing alot of camping this summer and I don't know how far we are going to have to drive. Anyway so we get there and it is cloudy but it is also six o clock in the evening and we are also right on the coast so the water is right there. So we eat dinner and then we put the kids to bed and know that tomorrow is going to better and sunny and the beach won't be so windy. Anyway we had a time, it wasn't warm like it was at our own house but it was still nice to go camping and spend time with the family. I mean what can you expect camping on the coast it is going to be a little chilly especially because it isn't even summer yet. We had a great time and so did the kids. We played on the beach a little bit and watched my nieces and nephew's go swimming in the cold water. So here are a few pictures of our trip. I did have a good time regarless what I said at the begining.



Zach still in his pj's at the beach it was Saturday morning. I didn't even know he went to the beach in the morning, I guess larry must have taken the kids to the beach. Right when the kids got up in the morning they wanted to go outside and play.
Madison throwing the ball for Tango(my sister Angie's dog).

Zach and Adeline must have been really impressed with this crab shell.


This was the beach near our campsite.



On Saturday morning we went to Seaside and looked around there while we let the clouds go away back at our campsite. Here is Madison and Zach on a carousel in seaside.
After we got back from Seaside we took a walk on the beach because Carlee said that while she was running that morning that she thought she saw a dead shark or dolphin on the beach so we walked to see it and it was a long walk. Now we had the wind on our backs while we were walking to see it but on the way back we were walking against the wind and I carried Carson both ways by the time we were done I didn't think I could make it back to our campsite. I think it was like a mile both ways.
This is Zach on our walk on the beach, this is the begining.
Madison at the begining of our walk and for some reason she didn't take her helmet off from riding her scooter. She wore it the whole time.
And this is Carson I don't remember what he wanted here but it was something.

This is when we got back from our walk and by the way it was a dead dolphin. Carson was much happier to be able to get down and not be in the wind.

It looks like it was a great time! I am glad you packed warm clothes, it is warm by the coast only on rare days, even in summer! So fun!
