Ruby Beach

On Sunday Kaitlyn wanted to go down to Ruby beach so we said why not.  We normally only go there once, but we figured the kids would have a great time down there.

 

One of our favorite things to do down there is skip rocks.  They have the best rocks and also with the river it is smooth so easier to skip rocks on.

This rock is one that my brother and I played on at that age and younger!!  It is so wonderful to see my boys climbing all over it!

 

Checking out some of the sea life.  They saw a big sea star along with many other sea life.

 

As you can see it was foggy again that day.  Also this beach has some nasty undertows so only up to their ankles on this one.

 

Here is a picture showing the amount of fog.  It was kind of cool looking though.

Uncle Craig started a new game called sink the ship.  They threw out a big log and then threw rocks at it to try and sink the "ship."

The kids found a cool fort on the beach - it looked like somebody put a lot of time into.

 

After that we headed back to camp and off to the store.  We used to get about a dollar to go spend at the store.  Now things cost a lot more so we go for ice cream.

 

Grandma with the grandkids and their ice cream!  I think this might be their favorite part of the day!

AJ really wanted to learn how to play cribbage this year, so who am I to say no.  Grandma was helping teach AJ.  He actually became really good at it!

 

Dinner time - we do it family style there.  Each family or two take a night and feed everybody which was 31 this year.  Al and I did the first night, which was really nice so we could relax the rest of the week.

 

After dinner let the marshmallow roasting begin!!!  Michael doesn't like smores, but he does like marshmallows.  AJ could go either way.  There is nothing like finishing a great day at the ocean with smores.
