Rusten decided to take a small break from studying today. We drove to the coast and spent the day there. We saw a lighthouse near the Umpqua River. Then we spent the rest of the day on the beach playing in the dunes. The kids had so much fun and we had a nice chance to relax together.

Joel Bear

Darion was excited about the "pirate ship" on the sign.

We tried to get a good picture of the boys together. This is the best one. Darion has a hard time sitting still.

Playing near the water. It was warm, but too cold to get in the water.

Climbing the dunes

Joel was eating sand. What did you expect? (Rusten ate dirt as a child and admits he still likes the flavor of "natures peppa")

I love you Rusten!
