Nehalem Beach

This weekend we went on a little camping trip down to Nehalem Beach on the Oregon Coast. It was the first time camping for Mike and the kids.

There were really big sand dunes in between the ocean and the camp site. They were a lot of work to climb over.

There were deer all over the place. We saw them several times each day. They didn't really seem to be very concerned with any of the people walking around. One night when I was walking to the rest room, one walked with me along the path only about 5 feet away.

The last night we were there, they came up and ate for about 30 min. at the camp site next to ours. The deer were Jacob's favorite thing about camping.

This was the first time Emily and Jacob had ever roasted marshmallows.

For our first time camping as a family,( I haven't been since high school) every thing went pretty smoothly. It didn't rain and the only thing I forgot to bring were matches, which we had a good laugh about. Luckily we were only about 5 minutes from a little store. We are looking forward to going again soon.
