Shoemaker Household: Lincoln City!

We headed to Lincoln City on Wednesday to hang out with some fabulous friends we don't get to see very often - the Ubels! I've dubbed them our "traveling friends" because the only times we've been able to hang out lately is when we travel (we joined them in Mexico in May).
The kids had a great time jumping on the beds, racing on the deck, and playing in the sand. The boys cannot get enough of the beach! As most know, the Oregon Coast is not known for it's amazing weather, more for it's dreary weather. This does not faze my boys at all. They love the sand even when the wind is howling!
I try to be as good of a sport as all three of my boys, but I do not enjoy being cold and wet at the same time! I'll dig in the sand and play in the water when it's sunny and warm, but when it's cold, I'm kind of a poor sport - not gonna lie!
Thankfully the sun broke through the clouds, and it was beautiful (not warm, but beautiful)!
Great food, great friends, and great relaxation was had. Now if only Miss Brooklyn hadn't gotten the flu on Thursday night! Poor girl was so sick, but the sweetest little sick girl I've ever been around!
The Ubels headed home Friday to take care of their little sicky, and the Shoemaker clan headed to the candy store! We picked up salt water taffy because the boys had never had any (we try to stay away from sugar with them - they're crazy hyper). Then we headed to Mo's for clam chowder. I'm not a huge fan of the chowder, but Bry loves it and now Isaiah is a chowder lover too!
We ended our day at the coast playing on the beach in the sun! Great fun!
