UMPQUA LIGHTHOUSE BEACH

The kids and I went in search of a new beach last Saturday and we ended up going to see the Umpqua Lighthouse, they have a really nice state park that we'll have to go back to hike, and we found beach access. Not my favorite, but it was such a gorgeous day, sun shining, waves crashing and it had warmed up to high 50's and the wind was mild (a bonus on the coast). There were dunes right behind us, lots of people out riding atv's...the kids thought that looked fun, maybe one day we'll have to try it out! The kids would climb up some small dunes right by the beach and slide down them, they called it sand sledding :) It entertained them for a while at least. Ashlynn loved playing in the sand and was sad when we left.



Not sure what was out in the water...




King of the Hill...


Ashlynn really was upset that we were leaving...
