This week we went camping with my grandparents up to Nehalem Bay State Park. The weather was beautiful (most of the time) and we had a great trip. Grandpa and Steen were able to go crabbing each morning and always brought home about a dozen crabs a day. Steen has been in heaven eating all the crab and coming up with new recipes to use crab in! We hope to go on a few more camping trips this summer because the kids did great and we all had a blast!

We had some trees in our site and Megan just insisted climbing them with her helmet on!

This is Natalie all cozy and ready for bed.

Here's Grandma Billett, Katie, Megan & Daniel sitting by the fire getting ready to make some s'mores.

Steen was a pro at crabbing and had lots of fun doing it!

The crabs don't know what's coming....a pot full of boiling water!

Grandma & Steen getting ready to clean the crabs and get them ready for picking.

Megan and Daniel just loved the crabs and wanted to play with them!
Here's my little explorer on the beach.
Daddy with the kiddos running into the water.

Megan had so much fun running from the waves and hunting for seashells.

No trip to the Oregon Coast is complete without a trip to the Tillamook Cheese Factory! They even had a few new flavors for us to try! Yummy
Daniel sure made a mess with his chocolate cone.
This video is for you Nana. Whenever the kids go camping they always stick there heads out the camper door and say, "Can I get you anything?" We finally got Daniel on camera. Too cute!
