My We went on a (mini) vacation last week to the coast. This time we tried the coast town, Yachats. I had heard good things about the beaches, but had never spent anytime there myself. . It was very pretty and had nice beaches. There is a neat lighthouse nearby and it is also close to the Sea Lion Caves. We were not able to take the kids there this time, but hopefully we can soon. I remember going as a kid and loving it. Will liked Yachats better then Florence and Seaside. We went with some friends and their kids. We had a great time and were able to relax, which is a bonus.

While we were there the weather was perfect. It was super windy though. The kids were afraid of the "sand ghost" (the wind would blow the dry sand in a mist like layer that hurt the kids' legs a bit), but besides that it was a blast.
Colin is getting this new found "adventurous" spirit, that I am not used to. He has become very bold when it comes to water. Made me feel like a "helicopter mom" making them stay close, but I am not a trusting person of water. So, they have to deal with that version of me around water.

Colin wants to be a scientist, several actually. He wants to be an inventor, robotics, animal, stars, etc. We recently bought him a field journal to draw and take notes about plants and animals he sees on our outdoor adventures. He has been really enjoying it.

He has changed so much. He actually touched the sea urchin and felt it "kiss" his finger. He would not have done that last year or 6 months ago.
