It was a perfect day. We froze most of our time in Oregon, and on the day we'd designated as "Beach Day" the sun came out, the winds died down, and it was beautiful. We couldn't have asked for a better day.

M. and Brogan sitting about a third of the way up the giant sand dune. It was tall and very steep. The speck to the left of the tree at the top of the hill is Braden. He went all the way up, then came back down to meet M. and Brogan, then climbed all the way up again.



Braden playing in the waves. The water was chilly, as it always is on the Oregon coast. Braden eventually went in up to his waist, and had a blast jumping and splashing around. The rest of us merely got our feet wet.
