Oregon Coast - Day 4: Relaxing on the Beach

Our final, full day of camping on the coast was one of relaxing & playing on the beach.

Camping at Nehalem Bay State Park was once again a rewarding experience.

Gary and the boys ventured out into the waves a bit while I kept Greta in some shade up on our beach blanket. While in the water, the guys found a live starfish that washed up in toward shore.

Our little base camp on the beach for the day

The whole four days, four nights of camping went amazingly well with little Greta. She is such a mellow baby - a true 'happy camper.' We weren't sure how it might all go, but we were pretty confident that she'd handle it well, as she does with almost any circumstance.

Such a little sweetheart.

We can't complain much about these precious little boys either - we're very blessed, indeed.





I love these photos, above & below.



Time to fly the kite.



Gordon was very persistent...and successful with the kite.





Greta isn't seen in many of the photos as she was with me behind the camera, tucked into the Sleepy Wrap, napping for much of our beach time.



I just LOVE my guys!











Clouds were rolling in and we were starting to get hungry...so it was time to pack up and head back to our campsite.



Grayson found an abandoned kids' magazine on the beach and enjoyed it for the next several days.

Back at camp, Grayson befriended this beloved little caterpillar.

We enjoyed the last of Gary's famous camping burritos, grilled to perfection for dinner that night, and relaxed around the campfire with our friends, the Rostis - along with some tasty s'mores.
Another wonderful day. ☺
