On the way to the beach we had a bit of an exciting adventure. Our tire tread blew off of the tire while driving down the road. Fortunately we were very close to a pull out that was paved so it was very easy to change the tire. The boys quickly learned where to put the jack, how hard it is to loosen a lug nut and how to change a tire. The girls were busy feeding the dog, giving him water and taking him for a quick walk. I didn't think about it or I would have taken pictures of the whole ordeal.
After the tire was changed we headed off again to the beach. It was one of the nicer days at the Oregon coast. We went to Bandon, Oregon. The kids had a blast playing in the water and in the sand.
Then the boys decided they would catch a few waves. We didn't bring swimsuits or changes of clothing because we honestly didn't think it would be warm enough to play in the water. Anyway, the boys made it out up to about their hips and let the waves wash up to their chest. I thought I would die laughing when one of the waves knocked them both over. They first stood and started spitting salt water out and then they started yelling, "Yes, that was so awesome!" But, they were both ready to come out of the water after that too. It was quite funny and fun.
The girls made sand castles and picked up rocks along the beach. This was also Caesar's first visit to the beach. He was not impressed with all the water and waves. It was interesting to see his reaction. When the kids tried to bring him down to the water he all but sat down and was determined to go no where.
Overall, I think we had a great weekend.
