Fun Times with the Dunlops

Craig is always good for a laugh.  We are so happy to have quests visiting us in our new home.

It would be a crime to be so close to the coast and not even show off its beauty, even if it is overcast and cool.  Who would have thought that the temperatures would have varied 30 degrees. 

 Girls day to ride in the Jeep turned out to be less than optimal.  First we get stuck in traffic when it is 100 degrees and the kids are sweating to death, then the temperatures start to drop and the girls start turning blue.  58 degrees is a bit chilly to be in shorts and a tank top cruising around with the top off.

 Good thing flying some kites and playing at the beach warmed us all up.

 Just don't try to put Owen in the sand.  Not a big fan.

 Addie on the other hand.  One happy lizard, oh I mean kid.

 Someone should really tell Tom that you don't really get a tan when you live in Oregon.

 They might not always get along but they are sisters.

 Kelly was not prepared for our less than sunny day at the beach. 

 Tom thought the girls needed to know how to build a proper sand castle.

 And how to properly destroy a sand castle.

 Once the tide went out, jumping in, over, thru the pools proved to be entertaining.

 Owen was only mildly impressed.  Maybe he was still recovering from the traumatic jeep ride, or most likely still mad at Dad for trying to put his foot in the sand.

 Avery is starting to become an adventurous little girl.  It has to be her idea, but when it is she is all for a little adventure.

 Tag your it! 

 Warm and dry, just in time to get in the warm and toasty car and put the Boys in the Jeep for the ride home.

 Fun times with the Dunlops. Hopefully we didn't scare them and they come back for another holiday.
