We have made it a tradition to go to Harris Beach every summer. Most years we get a lot of my extended family to come. This year we had a couple of my aunts and uncles, and my parents, my brother Paul, and my sisters Tracie and Kris. Along with one of my cousins and his wife. It was tons of fun.
Amber is at a hard age for camping because she isn't walking yet, so she was held a lot. She is funny. For some reason she loves Young Sooks dad. Always reaches out for him to be held. He loved it too. Pretty sweet.
We got glow sticks and Paula brought these silly glow glasses for the kids.
This playground was right behind our campsite. We will ALWAYS reserve a site in Loop A. This was so nice to have so close. The kids played there most of the time we were at the site. It was great!
Amber loved the beach, until the sand got in her eyes. :(
The boys had fun with this skim board for a while.
Poor Amber would get sand in her eyes then rub them with her sandy hands.
Tracie got this idea to bring an exercise ball to bury half way in the sand, and you do jumps off of it. Well, she over filled it with air and it didn't last long.
Paula thought it was hilarious.
Dallin digging a hole to burry himself in.
Burying Tanner in the sand, and turning him into a merman.
Tanner was in a very vulnerable place being buried.

Nate got a Dutch oven for his birthday. We had fun making food in it. Made a peach cobbler one night, and the next we made cheese chicken casserole. Yum. Yum.
Cousins hiking.
Amber's version of hiking.
They found lots of banana slugs along the path.
We went down the beach a low tide to see what cool creatures we could find. I have always loved star fish.
We found one on the sand that we could pick up. She wasn't sure if she wanted to hold it or not.
Cutie. She is still talking about how much fun the beach was.
Heading back to camp.
Amber helping deflate our AeroBed. She got a kick out of that.
Paul thought it would be fun to put chips all over his chest and lay down to see if seagulls would come eat off of him. They were scared of him. As soon as he jumped up though and the chips fell to the ground they were all over it.
Who knew messing with seagulls were so fun.
