several days in one

So we just got our mobile hotspot set up so here's what has gone one the last few days:

4/17/17

This morning we awake to ocean front RV spot in Kalaloch State Park on Hwy 101 north of Aberdeen, Wa. It's a beautiful Park with 2 bathroom location, 2 fresh water locations, and an RV dump. It's set up as a "pick your own spot" Park during the off season, and is only $22/night. No electric available.

Yesterday We walked a few miles along a gentle sloping sandy beach while the boys played in the shallow surf. There are tons of shells and we even found a complete Sand Dollar! Burgers while sitting in front of the ocean....pretty awesome! God gave us a beautiful sunset, and Shanesta took a bunch of pictures. 

We would love to stay here longer, but we need to be heading to Aberdeen today, they have a Walmart (meds), and a hospital (depending on how Lucas feels when he wakes up.... he bashed his shin pretty hard yesterday, and was limping pretty good last night before bed). Once that's squared away, we need to pickup a cheap laptop so we can load pictures from the camera on the line, I'm sure y'all would like to see where we are!

Well that's all for right now, I think I will try and find something to chew on, I've been up for almost 2 hours, and I'm starting to get hungry. God bless y'all, please continue with your prayers that God will send people to talk to us, especially those who need to know Him.

4/18/17

Well yesterday was an interesting one, that's for sure... we got to the hospital in Aberdeen, Wa at around 12:30 or so, checked in ( as some guy was barfing in a pan in the waiting room) and we sat there for about 20 minutes when we overheard  a lady talking to someone about that she had been there waiting since 9:00am for her son who sliced his hand open. We realized that the other 10+ people were in front of us, so we "checked out" and decided to see if his pain goes away.

Oh, and if you are in a bus, don't go to that hospital anyways, you have to back out of the parking lot, and go back up a one-way street after you destroy a fog light and scrape the snot out of your bumper trying to leave the teeny little parking lot they decided would look good on the side of a mountain...... just sayin.....

So after those escapades, it just got better. We sat in Aberdeen ,Wa Walmart for just over 3hrs waiting for Shanesta's meds to be filled.... they said it would only take an hour....... but we did find a small Acer laptop for pretty cheap, now we just have to find wifi so we can set it up, and use it!

But really it did get better, we ended up in a small town called Pacific Beach, Wa. It's absolutely beautiful here, and the beach is nothing but sand! We found a small "State Park" ( looks more like a really nice RV Park) right on the ocean, but at $35/night, we are leaving today. We have to go back to walmart and get some wifi thingy that will let us get online when we are somewhere that has no wifi. Mainly so we can post on here, as well as talk to family easier/more often. 

We do have a noticeable change in the boys' life, they no longer wake up and want to watch a movie, they want to go to the beach, or ride their bikes, or go for a walk (mostly it's go play in the surf) so that a definite praise for the Praise Report of the day!

God bless y'all, and talk to you later!


4/19/17
So we left Pacific Beach and headed further south. Astoria, Or (where they filmed Goonies) was crazy with people so we didn't even try it, though it would have been cool to see the Goonies house and also Haystack Rock where One Eyed Willies ship was. 

So we had to pass that by. But we ended up at Nehalem Bay State Park, and so far it's the cheapest place at only $29.night with full hookups. We can't see the beach (sand dunes in the way) but we can hear it an dwe are right next to the trail to it, so tomorrow if it's not pouring down rain, we will check it out. 

Conversions are not welcome in Long Beach, Ocean City, or Cannon Beach, unless you want to pay $50+ a night for a getto park! Don't even bother pulling into those towns.

Oh by the way Seaside, Or has a wicked cool surf shop with a bunch of old school and new school surf boards for sale. If we had $200 for a board and $100 for the wetsuit, TJ would do his best at being a surfin fool. Hopefully we can find a cheaper board for him and just have him wear a wool suit for warmth! hahaha!!!!!

Well gotta run, don't want to waste all our internet on one post, 5 minutes after setting it up!!!

God Bless!
