Spring Break- Campfire at the Beach

Wednesday after dinner and hanging out at the Beach house, the kids suggested we go build a fire on the beach. We thought that a good idea, since we expected rain the next day. So we drove the block to Agate Beach with wood, beach chairs, blankets, and goodies, and built a fire. It wasn't quite like being on Avila Beach-a little chilly so we bundled up.We talked with some nice local college guys that were home for the break. They were hauling in pallets for their fire. We made woof'ems. Thank you Uncle David for teaching us how to do these! Scary Brian!

It started to rain. Then started to pour- so we packed up and left. We were in the process of putting out our fire, when another family was arriving- so we turned it over to them. They must have really been die hards to sit out there in the down pour. Even the college kids cleared out.

We had a good time and were glad we went - but it was nice to get back to the house and dry off. It was very convenient to have a washer and dryer so we threw in our jeans so they'd be clean and dry for us in the morning. Kevin said it was quite the storm that night. From his bed in the loft he was woken up several times with the lightening lighting up the house and the rain pelting on the big windows. Melissa and Jessica who were sleeping in the front room- confirmed that.
