We all learned a lesson about Sneaker waves at the Oregon Coast. We just arrived at the beach about 4pm on Friday. We bundled the kiddos up to take a walk on the beach. We put on boots, heavy coats, gloves, etc. We had our 2 boys and Dan & Amanda had their 3 girls. We found a great spot to climb down to the beach. The water was about 50 feet out. Our boys are attracted to water and tend to run away from us at the beach....Always have... They were headed toward the water. We just barely made it down off the rocks. Gary turned around and yelled, "RUN". Well, the tide caught the kids and us and water went all the way to the rocks. The boys body surfed in, Paige looked like a beach ball, we were soaked and very sandy. We walked back up the cliff and went back to the house. The shortest beach walk ever... maybe 5 minutes total. A lesson well learned? We certainly hope so.
