Cape Kiwanda with Uncle Steve

My brother Steve from North Carolina came to visit our family for the weekend. He has been working in California for the past four months on a merger deal with Bank of America and Country Wide. It was good to have him come visit. I know the kids sure loved having him around.


We took the kids and Steve to movie night in the park on friday. We layed on blankets and watched Daddy Day Camp and ate popcorn. Saturday we took the kids to the same park for a fun run. The weather was so nice that me and the kids took Steve to Cape Kiwanda in Pacific City. It was my third time driving to the coast this week, however the other two times were for work. The marine layer never lifted but the kids don't care whether its sunny, rainy, or cold, just as long as they can get wet and fill their pockets with sand. The sand dune is huge. It takes forever to climb the sand dune for a mere 30 second thrill to run down. It's all about the kids. After dinner we drove further down the beach to a secluded spot to build a fire and roast mellows. The kids slept the entire way home; although he did leave the beach at 10 p.m.
