Spring Break 2011

We are spending Spring Break at the beach this year. The thing I love about the beach house is that spending time here forces you to slow down. Literally. There is very little to do around Rockaway Beach other than go to the beach and spend time as a family.

It takes a while to get used to the slow pace of life here, but I really love it. The kids spend their days playing outside making forts by the creek and riding bikes. We go on walks twice a day, rain or shine, play games and watch movies together.

The weather has been generally pretty cold and rainy, but we have had some breaks that we've been able to take advantage of.

The girls played in the wind, rain and cold on Manzanita Beach. We are true Oregonians!

One morning of sun. The kids rode their bikes to the coffee shop and then we played on the beach. Beautiful morning for that.
