Beach Trip

Last week we got the opportunity to go to the Oregon Coast with my family. My parents have a time share and were so kind as to share it with us. So we met up and got to hang out. The weather wasn't great, but the room couldn't have been better. Right outside our patio was a kids pool that was heated and only a foot deep. They got to play and get their wiggles out while we sat indoors and watched. Like I said, great! 

We also got to walk along the coast and enjoy the slightly stormy weather. I LOVE the Oregon coast, especially when it is a bit windy and rainy. There is seriously nothing like it. I know, I know some of you think the only way to experience the beach is with sun, warmth and swimming suits. I however would choose the wind and rain any day. Its so beautiful and unexpected. I love the way the waves crash against the sand in brilliant unison with the storm raging around it. The Beach becomes littered with shells, seaweed and various other sea life. Maybe its just the sheer power reminding me of where I stand in relation to our all-powerful God, I don't know, but I love it. 

All in all it was a wonderful couple of days. I just love getting to spend time with family and letting the cousins get to hang out. I hope we'll get to go again soon and have more fun!
