camping at the beach

Summer is not Summer unless you camp at the beach!
Clayton and Michelle and the Grandkids were all there 
As were many of our friends ..It was all great fun.


Start out with a waffle and egg breakfast




It may have been a cool morning


So we hit the road - the bikes flew by often - with calls of "Hi Grandpa - Hi Grandma"...or the ringing of each persons bike bell.


We went to the beach often

The Water was cold - first day 44 degrees!

So we played on the beach...no one was in the water!



When it warmed up - everyone was in the water!


Elizabeth having a great time


Cant camp without a storm coming in ..sometime.
Roll up those awnings!

This day had a morning severe storm and an evening severe storm..
with a Tornado warning included.




A little wave action!


Nancy Airstreamin'



The View out the back window!....There were many great sunsets



And for a little added excitement - we had a plane crash on the beach - just north of were we had been sitting - The pilot was okay - just had engine failure -
