Ben and Ryann and I have been trying to come up with a new adventure each day. We call them mini-ventures. Yesterday we went to the ocean science center in Newport, Oregon. We spent about 2 hours there looking at sea creatures and learning about the topography of the earth below the seas. I found it very interesting. The kids found it just 'ok'.
Today we went to the sand hill in Pacific City, Oregon. It's a very tall hill of sand...fun to go up because if you fall, you only fall into sand. Ryann actually rolled down it on her side with her hair flying. Ben ran down really fast laughing and grinning all the time.
Later today we took some bread and some Cheerios cereal that had been dumped on the floor...(long story)..to feed the sea gulls. The kids got very excited as the gulls flocked around us. They seemed to come from every direction.
Swimming lessons each day are going well also. Tomorrow will be day 4 of their lessons, and I can honestly say they are both swimmers now and becoming more comfortable in the pool each day.
I'm beginning to worry a little about what I'll do when they go home. Oh well, I'll think about that another day....
