Ocean Shores

On July 30th, we drove to Ocean Shores to take in the Pacific Ocean. We told the kids over and over that this water is very cold and that they could not swim in it like we swam in the ocean when we were in Florida many years ago. After the first frigid toe dipping, they got used to it and did a lot of beachcombing. They came back with many sand dollars, crab shells and oyster shells. These pictures are just priceless and we feel so blessed to have had this opportunity to spend the summer in Washington.





Getting over the initial shock that this water is actually very cold!
