Oregon Trip - Day 6

Last day at the beach!!! Sadness!!! "Le Creperie" on 2nd was the choice of the breakfast place on Saturday morning. The actual name for the place is Crêpe Neptune. The boys ordered crepes and smoothies and Katie and I only had smoothies. Totally yummy. Then the boys wanted to go play some basketball at the nearby elementary school while Katie and I went to the beach to get a last minute tan...from neck up. It worked. We both burned.


Breakfast for boys.

We had to return the rented skim boards on Saturday afternoon so the boys wanted to try the beach bikes next.


Of course they couldn't just ride the bikes along the beach like regular folks. No. They had to have a sand/mud war. Boys!



Alex is ready to fling his handful of sand at Carsen.



Carsen's face says it all. Such happiness in mud.



Watch out people! You don't want to get anywhere near these boys.



Exhausted Alex. They still had to bike the bikes back to the shop. About a 3 mile ride. Their thighs were burning after.



Happy and muddy.



Carsen, don't you throw that sand at me!



Mud happy.



They are done.



That was fun.


After the boys returned the bikes, we went to Dooger's for dinner. Then we decided to build a fire one last time on the beach. Once we got our fire going, there were 3 cute girls who were carrying their bundle of wood to the beach and made a place for them right next to ours. We assessed the situation for a while and decided that the girls don't have a clue how to build a fire. We told the boys to go and ask if they need help, which they did. Carsen and Alex went over and started the fire right off with our lighter, where the girls had brought a box of matches. The boys came back to our fire until the girls asked the boys if they liked Smores. And that's when we lost the boys for the evening.


When our fire went out, Katie and I left to go pack and clean the house. The boys returned a few hours later with stories about the senior girls from Washington. They had a great evening and a nice way to say farewell to the Oregon Coast with an evening spent on the beach with a great fire, smores and great company.


Sadly no pictures of the girls but they were super cute. Did the boys ask their numbers or last names so they could "friend" them on Facebook? No. We need to teach these boys some tricks of the trade. They need to enter "Katie and Marja's school of dating".
