Oregon - Day 3: Coos Bay

We got up Sunday morning and let the kids play with their cousins a little more before they had to go to church.
We said our good-byes to the Steenblik's and then it was back into the car for us.  We figured we would drive to Eugene and have lunch.  We wanted to get some gas so we decided to just go to the Costco there and eat lunch too.  Tony and I wanted something besides a hamburger.

After that we were back on the road.  Allie took a nap and we watched way too many episodes of Phineas and Ferb.
We got into Coos Bay about 3:00.  We decided to go straight to our little cabins/cottages and get unpacked.  We were the first ones there from my family.  They were at my grandpa's house waiting until they could check in.  I was able to get our key and we started unloading our car.

They others came soon after and it was a full out Clark family party.  Kevin and his family were the last ones to come a couple hours later.
After we unpacked our car we wanted to go to the beach.  It was beautiful weather that day!  We couldn't believe just how nice it was.  The kids all love the beach.  Since it was Sunday we told the kids to stay out of the water.  That was very hard for Megan and Josh to do.  They would get their hands all sandy and then want to "just wash them" in the water and then end up getting wet.  It is hard to not touch the water at the beach, but we wanted to still follow the no water on Sunday rule.
Speaking of breaking the Sabbath, we knew that we needed to go to the store and get some dinner so after a while we had the kids come back and get cleaned up so we could go.
We decided to go and get some dinner first.  We went to Kozy Kitchen.  It's a diner and the food is pretty good but it took forever.  They were pretty busy and I think that a bunch of us came around the same time so it took like 45 minutes for our food to come.

The kids were surprisingly good while we waited.  As good as they could be.  I felt bad that it took so long but the food was good and we all had plenty to eat.
After dinner we went to Walmart to pick up the food that we would need for the week.  By this time we all just wanted to be back at the cabins with the family, so we rushed through the store getting the essentials and then then checked out.
We got back to the cabins and most people were finishing up their dinners and getting their kids ready for bed.  We decided that was a good idea and got our kids in their pajamas.  I had Tyler, Josh, and Megan sleep upstairs together on the bed and we made Allie a bed on the floor outside of our room.  We knew that she wouldn't stay there all night but Tony really wanted a place for her to start out and that worked out good.  Tony and I were definitely ready to climb into bed and get some sleep.
