Walking down the trail to be on the Oceano Dunes

The dunes!

Can't get enough of the water! :)

Steven going all awkward t-rex on his dad!

Devin and his seaweed following Chuck

Val, Cody, Devin and Steven on a dune. Then Chuck would throw a ball and they would jump (ie Steve jumping) to catch it!

The bridge on the way to the dunes.

Our sunset picture of the day! :)
The sun setting in the front window.

After meeting there were games to be played to help pass the time!

or you could watch the game being played

or there was food to be eaten

or new friends to meet

and fire crackers at midnight! :)
