The boys and I headed to "Happy Camp" in Netarts, OR for the weekend. Karlynn and Scott had always raved about Happy Camp so we were excited to check it out. It was beautiful. Netarts is about 7 miles south of Tillamook and is a very quiet, relaxing town. The house we stayed in sits near the bay and the ocean so it has an amazing view.
We joined our friends, Tom and Janey who are parents to Kaenan and Aletta. Ryan and Kaenan played t-ball, football and basketball together so we got to know the Combs family well. It was fun to hang out with them off of the sports field.
Matt, Tom and the boys went crabbing each morning and caught a total of 27 crab. YUM! Needless to say, we pigged out on crab all weekend. AT $5.99 a pound, we figured we had at least $100 worth. Besides crabbing we spent the weekend walking on the beach, playing games and watching movies (and football). It was just the kind of weekend that I love at the beach.
As you can see in the pictures, we woke up Sunday morning to a gorgeous day at the coast. We spent time digging in the sand. The only glitch in our weekend was the 2 times that Kristen had to reinact Baywatch rescue missions. Aletta and Ryan (at different times) were both surprised by a strong wave that knocked them into the water. It scared the heck out of them (and me!). Anyway, Janey decided that I it was too bad we didn't have the events videotaped....we could have won America's Funniest Home Video with my graceful sprints in to the water!!
So, just another experience that reinforces that I need to win the lottery. Then I can buy a beach house to visit every weekend!
