To the Ocean We Go! (Day 1)

This past weekend we spent 3 days in Grayland, WA at the state park.  It had been a couple of years since we have been to the ocean and MANY, MANY years since we've been to the Grayland - Westport area.   We were meeting up with 6 other families, most from our Mayfield Lake group.

Our trip on Friday was uneventful and we arrived about 2:30 pm.  That gave us a lot of time to explore the camp ground and walk to the beach.

Saturday, it started to rain later in the morning.  It sprinkled and rained lightly for quite awhile.  Then later, it really poured!  Even with the rain, we still enjoyed a great day.  Cannon and I made it to the beach for a walk before the rains hit.

We spent a couple of hours in Westport combing through the stores and being tourists.  The boys loved the hats and the fun toys.  We also stopped for ice cream, which is always a hit!  (and BEFORE lunch, too!) Then we had lunch at a great BBQ restaurant in town.  It was so yummy....pulled port and delicious corn bread muffins.

The rain let up before dinner and a bunch of us made another trip the beach.  The boys ended up in the water, fully clothed.  They were soaked up past their waists!  But they had so much fun and weren't shivering.  (How they weren't cold, I don't know!)  They were definitely the entertainment for all of  us!  It was wonderful to watch them and hear their laughter!

Soaked through and boots FULL of water.  I'm sure they are still drying out!

We finished the day with a wonderful dinner shared by everyone.  There was so much great food.  We always eat well!

Enjoying every moment.
