We went down to the Oregon coast for Memorial Day with our friends Dave and Christian and their daughter Rian. We went to the Inn at Otter Crest in Linclon Or. Christian's mom works there so we were able to get some really great rooms with awesome views. We had a really rocky view from our rooms, but it allowed us to have a view of the seals that sun themselves on the rocks. The kids loved to watch them.
We were expecting a weekend full of rain, but we ended up having some great weather. On Saturday, we took the kids swimming since we had some sun. Then we headed down to the beach to look in the tidepools and to build some sand castles. At dinner that night Daniel told me his name was "Dan" and when I tried to call him Daniel agian he said "No mommy, I'm Dan."
On Sunday we went to a historic light house in Newport Oregon, just down the road from where we were staying. There were great tidepools there where the kids could look and touch starfish and sea annenomies. There were also seals close by sunning themselves on rocks. 
We also took the kids to a great beach to fly kites. They loved it! Rian was an old pro and got her kite up really high. Daniel had a spiderman kite and loved watching it go up in the air.
