Memorial day camping trip (part 1)

This happened almost a month ago now, but I wanted to get these pictures up.  It was such a nice camping trip, and so much fun!

We went to Beverly Beach over on the Oregon Coast for Memorial day weekend.  We got lucky and found a spot earlier in the week as we didn't decide to go until the weekend before.

It was a nice little spot.

 Too cold for the water, yeah right!  Most of them ended up getting their clothes wet on this day at the beach.

 We had a pond right by our trailer, and caught sight of some salamanders.

 This girl mostly just wanted to sit and read in the trailer.  We had to drag her out sometimes!

 A view of our site from the bathroom, see the pond right there? And, the frogs would make so much noise at around 8pm every night.  It was pretty loud right there next to them. We were all glad we had a trailer that blocked out some of the noise.

 Game night!

 We played some hi-ho-cherry-o and Trouble!

 One morning we went on an Oregon coast quest.  It's where you follow some hints to find a box that has a stamp in it to put in the book.  Each quest gets a stamp, and allows you to explore new areas on the Oregon coast.  We had so much fun on this quest of Big Creek Park.

 Walking to find the next clue...

 We had to find letters like this in different locations to spell a word which is our clue to where the box is...

 We finally found the box!  It is always fun to get to the end.

 We have to write our names down in the log book. It is fun to look and see who has come by recently.

And, that's the end of part 1.  I think I have a few more pictures to share, but I will share them later!
