We went to Oregon Coast for a surf kayak trip with the Whitman College Outdoor Program (i.e. Stuart at work). This was great! The boys really liked hanging out with the college students. And the college students liked the family atmosphere. It was Easter weekend and on Sunday morning, two of the student leaders got up and did a Easter egg hunt for the boys. What fun!
The boys hangin' out with Kemper it the very full trailer.
The Oregon coast is really a temperate rainforest. As we hiked down to the surfing beach, we passed through giant trees covered with moss. Every surface had something growing on it.
This is a yet to be identified giant beautiful flower growing in swampy areas along the trail.
Here a dead log is host to new life.
One thing I love about adventures with the family is that the boys really work well together. They look out for each other and play in ways that they don't when they are confined by 4 walls. Here they are hiking the path out ahead of me.
Here they are investigating the tide pools.
What is in this muck????
Stuart spent the weekend teaching surf kayaking. What fun!
(somewhere in here in my photos, the setting got changed to manual so the rest of the images are washed out...sorry)
This is my dancing boy Dakota. He seems to find music inside himself and dance whether we are on the ski slope or the beach or even the backyard.
The drift wood pile was large. Dakota found a hole in one of the logs.
Together we made a rock wall to defend ourselves.
Wren made an awesome drift wood fort.
I made some rock art: In tower form.
And spiral form....
