Flying kites was a little difficult.  It was a little too windy for our dollar store kites.

Ahhhh.....love at the beach.

Cousins trying to keep dry while the tide comes in.

We stayed in a condo in Gearhart, OR right on the beach.  It was perfect!  The condo was huge and felt like home.  We had so much fun with Scott's brothers' family and Scott's parents.  We wished that the whole Pingel family could have come, but we'll just have to plan another one.  We had fun just playing in the sand and water with cousins, eating good food, and talking and laughing.  The trip didn't last long enough!  We loved our first trip to the coast.
