Family Vacation

This is our first family vacation that isn't visiting other family.  We loaded up our duo and all of our stuff and drove to the Washington coast.  We decided on Long Beach as we have never visited it, and it looked like a great location for us to play and relax.  It took us about 4 hours to get there.  The boys did really well on the drive.  The last half hour was hard for Magnus, but he made it and we got to our rental condo.  Once we had unpacked the car we walked down to the beach. 

Our condo is on the edge of the sand dunes and there is a trail straight to the beach through them.  The boys were amazed by the tall, tall grass.

After walking through the dunes and soft sand we were on the packed down sand.  Both boys took off their boots and ran for the water.  It was AWESOME!  They were so excited to see the ocean.  It was their first time at the ocean, and they ran right for the waves. 

Ragnar tried to turn around and run away from a wave, but he got hit from behind and was knocked down. He ended up soaking wet but didn't want to go get changed.

 

We then walked around and splashed in some "piddles" (puddles) and the boys climbed into a giant hole someone had dug in the soft sand area.

 

 

We walked back through the dunes after about an hour and washed the boys up.

 

 



We then headed into town to grocery shop and grab dinner.  It took a bit for the boys to calm down and sleep that night, but they eventually did.
