So we went camping for the first time as a family this past week/weekend! We had an absolute blast!
Thankfully I felt the best I've felt since about week 5 and was able to actually
EAT! We camped at
Harris Beach in Brookings, Oregon. (click
here for link) If you are from the West Coast you know where that is, if not.... I will just tell you it's
gorgeous. The Oregon Coast is cold yes, but it is absolutely beautiful. We did have one gorgeous day, the rest were chilly! But it was a nice escape from the 100 degree weather we had been having in Southern Oregon. I love where I live. We don't get extreme weather, we get all the season (sometimes in one day!) And it's green and gorgeous!!
So, we stayed in a
YURT. If you don't know what it is, this
link can explain it! You do all your cooking and eating outside, but you sleep inside this tent that has beds. Keeps you warm at night and off the ground, perfect for a pregnant lady! But the bathrooms and showers are a little walk away, so it's still like tent camping. Only, much better! We'll never ever tent camp again!
My parents went, as well as my sister! We had the best fires, great food and a wonderful time!
One day we headed up to Bandon
, Oregon to go to the
Game Park Safari. Check out the link
here.
It's one of my most favorite places, because I'm an animal lover. Working here would be my dream job! This was Jack's first time! He loved it because he's a lot like me. And he's a snuggler, so the biggest task was trying to keep him from snuggling the animals too hard, or NOT snuggling the ones you should only touch on the back :)
These are pictures from our first two days. The beach and the game park. I didn't get any other shots! So, after I get my Mom's pictures I will do another post around the campsite and in downtown Bandon and such :)
Enjoy!
