MY TOWN, MY STREET, Give me peace of mind that can't be beat!

Monday we finally drove out to the long awaited for coast cabin! After an early morning camp clean up and Jordan drop off, we made our way out to Florence. We arrived by noon and let all the kids out at the sand pit to run out to the waves. It was a glorious day! (let me clarify, it was grey cloudy and misty, but glorious to arrive and get out of the car!!) No matter how many car arguments have been going on, or how annoyed or irritated people might be with each other, it never fails to amaze me how everyone has an attitude shift as we turn down 4th street, see the ocean, and everyone falls under the same spell....THE SAND, THE WATER, THE WAVES, OUR TOWN!!! It is much like the scene in the animation, Bambi, where Bambi has heard all about the amazing 'meadow' and is so excited to go running and playing around in the meadow after a long hard couped up winter and just as he comes around the bend to the open meadow he belts out "THe MEADOW" and goes sprinting across the open area! That is the birdybunch on the Oregon shore..."THE COAST" is what we all belt out and we can't get out of the car fast enough to go run through the sand and out to the water. No matter how cold, no matter how windy, no matter what time of day it is. The feeling is there and is always the same...we are home.

Jenner immediately set out to build an amazing Jenner Castle Resort out of sand, complete
with Palm trees (sea weed) and a great 6 story tower complete with state of the art shell decorations! Jerica thrived on running around in the wind and hanging with family.
