We spent my birthday and the next couple of days following at a condo on the coast with my parents. It was wonderful! The weather was gorgeous so the kids were able to swim at least once if not twice a day. Of course that meant that we had to swim once if not twice a day but it was fun to do as a family. On the last day we were there the wind had picked up a bit so we would race from the pool to the hot tub, sit there for a bit and then race back to the pool. The kids especially loved the hot tub even if we would only let them be in there for a few minutes at a time. K especially loved being in the big pool and riding on either my shoulders or Daddy's and going around and around the pool. T taught himself how to hold his breath under water and spent most of the time down below the surface. Guess we've got a couple of water frogs who can't get enough of the water!
The second day we were there, Mom and Dad kept the kids so we could go into Lincoln City and I could spend my birthday money. If Cliff wasn't enjoying himself while we were shopping, he didn't show it. He was smiling a lot of the time and let me take all the time I needed, he's such a good man. After shopping we went to Kylos ("our" restaurant) and had a wonderful late lunch sitting at a booth with a view of the ocean. What a perfect day.
We spent a lot of time down on the beach which was just a pathway away from our back patio. T loved looking for cool rocks and it didn't take K long to get into it too. One of the evenings we had a campfire on the beach and made smores, it was my first beach campfire, lots of fun.
We would have been content staying there another week, it was so relaxing. But of course we couldn't stay there forever. Thank goodness my parents invite us to come along with them so much for vacations, we have such a great time and are blessed to have them in our lives.
