our first day here

June 19

none of us can believe that we are finally here.

none of us could wait a second to get our feet onto the beach.

our cottage is located just across netarts bay;

it's beautiful,

but we weren't big on the rocky shore.

it's a popular crabbing spot.

we drove about 2 miles to oceanside.

what a treat!!

it was exactly like the place we had been dreaming of!!

soft sand, rolling waves, haystack rocks, partly cloudy skies.

sam and will could not believe their eyes!

They couldn’t chase waves fast enough!

I think, or I know, they were the loudest ones on the beach that night,

So much squealing and laughter.

I even had a few bouts of excited laughter.

Hopefully this level of excitement doesn’t violate beach etiquette.

This is going to be quite a summer.
