Pacific City for Memorial Day

We picked up the kids from Camp Meriwether on Wednesday and traveled 15 minutes north to Pacific City, where my friend Heather's parents have a house. Three families stayed in Pacific City 3 nights and had a nice time eating, talking, clamming, tide pooling....

Duffy Family (daughter is AJ), Hoins family (daughter Ursula) and Lee Family

Bill, Erik, Dae

Forgot to bring rain boots for clamming and borrowed Heather's mom's pink boots! hahahaha!

Amy and Erik were quite good at clamming. Erik even got our sole geoduck

Sand Surfing. It was surprisingly slow going down this relatively steep hill.

The little sled went pretty fast




All the adults tried too.



Outside the RV park central store where we got everything (small groceries, root beers, rental sand surfboards)

Clamming. Quite fun, and we got so many clams. We had to stop once we had about 100 total, after about 45 minutes of clamming. The area was extremely muddy - we were all filthy when we trekked back. And if you weren't careful you'd get stuck in the mud like quicksand! 


The clam gun was effective, but every time Dae pulled it up he managed to kill clams in the process :(

Tidepooling. Some good sized starfish!

Olin's sand crab friend



Yummy s'mores





All the kids tried their hand at shucking oysters - successfully!


Both kids tried oysters. They didn't hate them!



Pretty jellyfish
