We decided to start a Nelson Family Summer Reunion and figured the beach would be the best place to have it each year since it is close, the kids love it, and it works for Jared. We rented a big beach house for us all for 4 days and didnt make too many plans. We all loved going down to the beach, eating fish and chips and salt water taffy (very recommended at the Oregon Coast) and enjoyed relaxing and spending time together! Callie and Porter love the beach and could spend all day there if we would let them. Callie loves playing in the sand and loves going into the water and -even though the Oregon Oceans are freezing-she gets soaking wet and runs and plays until we finally make her get out. Lucy also loved the sand and would just scoop up sand all day long and only tried to eat it once-she put it in her mouth-did not like it and never did it again. We had a sand castle contest and my very competitive husband worked hard and made sure that we won.
I love living so close to the beach (an hour and a half away) and I love the beautiful Oregon Coast. This is going to be such a fun new tradition and I am already looking forward to next year.
