Ocean Shores

Some friends of ours have a great vacation home in Ocean Shores that we were blessed to stay at for a few days this week! It was nice to get away and relax for awhile.....especially nice to sleep in!

Here's a view from the back of the house. It backs up to a canal where the kids had lots of fun taking turns riding in the canoe with Matt!



Sadie loved the canoe! She couldn't get enough!
We lucked out with the weather! It was so nice that we spent the majority of the day at the beach. The kids made a giant sand castle, had fun burying each other, and of course loved running from the waves!









Sadie took a nice long snooze at the beach!
During the rest of the trip, the weather wasn't quite as nice...so we had to find some other things to entertain the kids. We found a fun mini-golf course and arcade. Sadie didn't enjoy the golf too much....she just wanted to throw the balls.

Sadie became the designated score-keeper.



We spent most of the rest of the time just enjoying each other, playing games, and laughing! What a fun trip! Now...back to reality!
