Then on to the ocean and 3 nights in Kalaloch

We met my parents and camped for three nights in a fabulous campground right on the ocean. Our campsite was overlooking the water and all we could hear was the sound of the waves crashing in on shore. It was cold in the mornings and evenings, but the sun burned brightly during the days. So we hiked up the beach a couple of miles and hung out by ourselves for several hours each afternoon. C and L absolutely loved the sand, waves, rocks, sticks, logs, streams, and FUN that the beach offers. C said to me several times: "Mom, this is really really fun." She genuinely enjoyed herself and so did L. There were challenges--L kept asking, "Where's the house? I want to go inside. Let's go inside the house. Where is it?" He didn't grasp the idea of camping right away. But, once he understood we were sleeping outside and eating outside and spending the night and day outside, as well as playing outside, he settled into camping.
