The beach from the parking lot.
I don't have to worry about freak waves or currents. We will probably spend our summer at this beach.
Oregon has the most spectacular outdoor activities; but their are few to no safe beaches; ocean or river. So our community decided to come together through grassroots efforts and build a beach on the river for the kids. The beach and hiking baths have been built and there is an amphatheater and playground currently being built. The kids and I went with another mom and her kids on Tuesday and enjoyed splashing in the water and playing with our sand toys in the water. Our coast trip was fun; but there is no safe water play so we really enjoy our local beach (and Elijah can watch the construction trucks all day). We have a really artsy community and it is fun to see all the local artists contributions. There are already rock statues, murales, etc.
