Family trip, day 2

After sleeping in, we went to the beach to start the day. There was lots of running and playing. It was not very warm, but the shoes came off. The sand under your feet has to be one of the best feelings, in my opinion. The girls think the same way I do.
We went on a jet boat trip up the Rogue River. This is something Lamar had been looking forward to. Shianne loved it, but Nora found a way to complain the whole way. There was lots of wildlife to view. We saw deer, osprey, ducks, otters, seals, herons, elk and even a bald eagle. The latter was a very fortunate site. It was beautiful to see it perched high in a tree overlooking the river valley.
We did get wet on the trip, but that just added to the experience. On the way back down river we saw a beautiful sunset. We were all tired by the end of the day. A soak in the hot tub was definitely in order.
