Camping Fun

We had a super-fun time on our camping trip this week. We spent 3 days, 2 nights at Ocean Shores, camping at the state park and enjoying lots of fun times. The weather was perfect: sun, wind (of course. It's the beach, right?), and warm days. The nights, on the other hand, were absolutely freezing, with temperatures dipping into the low 40's. But we bundled up and kept warm by the fire.

We also:
built sand castles
ran in the ocean and on the beach
flew our kite
got sun-burned
dug a giant hole in the sand for the girls to climb into
roasted marshmallows over the fire and made s'mores
the girls helped chop wood for kindling
fought off 2 large racoons that wanted to take over our camp one night
went for hikes
threw a baseball around
ate lots of salt-water taffy and even ice cream
got eaten by mosquitos
played games in the tent and at the picnic table
hiked to the bathroom at 2 in the morning for an emergency potty run (and we saw the most beautiful stars in the sky on the way back to our tent)
saw a snake near the beach
saw a beautiful butterfly and some dragonfllies
and tried our best to knock the waves over in the ocean.
