Washington Beaches

Hurray for salt air, waves lapping the shores and sand for castle building!  We spent time this year at a Thousand Trails park near Copalis WA.  Lynn and Jay (Derrille’s brother) stayed at a park just up the road. One day we took in the Ocean Shores Sand Castle Building competition. 







 The promoters changed the dates this year and several regulars could not attend.  Only five or six teams were present. Very unlike what we've seen before at Cannon Beach OR.

 

We attended early in the day, and didn’t stick around for the final construction.

 

This entry had something to do with the mind and brains. It looked like the best construction to us.

 

 

This group took aspects of the Candy Land Game for their creation.

 

 

Throngs of people came to watch the creations taking shape.

 




 

 

Other people just enjoyed a warm day at the beach in the sun and surf.

 










 

 

I found this father to be a hero, letting his sand soaked daughter climb on his back. Way to go Dad!

 

We carry a dual rod-iron hanger for my two hanging planters.  Last year we traveled with petunia pots, this year it's geraniums.

This bold crow landed on my hanging baskets and decided to dig in them a bit.

 

At Ocean Shores we saw this doe and her fawn at the entrance to the resort.
