Labor Day, part 2

On our last day, we went clam digging again in the morning, but it was much cooler and the kids (especially Eli) were not so into it. We gathered up enough for dinner and called it a day. We packed up, checked out, and headed back to the coast. The kids had a good nap as we drove all the way to Leadbetter State Park, the end of a peninsula that separates Willapa Bay from the ocean. Unfortunately, there was no beach access except by a 1.5 mile trail, so we didn’t get to the beach. We did a short walk to an overlook of the bay and headed back to Long Beach for some fish and chips. Finally, after that, we drove over to the beach. Brian had been asking and asking to go to the Pacific Ocean and he was excited about it!

Calvin and Eli were a little bit behind…

 It was insanely windy, but the kids had a great time exploring the turbulent Pacific shore. (Irony there, how not peaceful the Pacific is.)

 I tried to get a nice picture of the two of them, but they are so goofy.

 That’s the money shot! Great weekend to send off the summer!
