Even this late in the year, the weather was pretty nice at the beach (not too cold, just a little rain). So, we were able to make at least one trip to the beach, where we found some very large sand mountains that the kids climbed ... before having to leave due to a very high tide. As usual, we had our after-beach ice cream, at Aidelaide's. Much of our time was spent inside the cabin, sleeping in late, watching videos, playing UNO, and relaxing while the kids came up with their own games. We did manage to spend some more time outside when we went biking to the library (and Tor learned to ride without training wheels!) and when cooking hot dogs and s'mores over the fire (though we did get a little wet). There was also the usual trip to the Astoria pool that was super-crowded this time. All in all, a very nice relaxing pre-holiday trip.
