Sand, Sand and more SAND!



This past weekend we took the kids to Ft. Bragg, acutally a little town north of there called, Westport. The drive was a little windy, but well worth it. At one point the temperature dropped 32 degrees within 6 minutes. We got to camp right on the sand, about 25 feet from the high tide mark. There were no camp sites, just pick a spot you think will stay dry. It was a priceless view if you can handle sleeping and cooking in sand! It was wonderful to fall asleep to the sound of the waves, and then wake to them for the sunrise. It was also wonderful to be cold. We lucked out on the time we picked and were able to escape Redding's 116 degree week and stay in the 50's and 60's. The kids loved being able to run free and help dad set up the camp. It was a quiet weekend to just be together and focus on the beauty of God's creation. We had some wonderful talks about God's power and gentleness,,,,just like the ocean. Here are a few pictures of those quiet moments.
