I 
had so much fun clamming at the sibling reunion that I took the kids over the weekend. Crystal was smart and stayed home and rested. The clamming was not as prolific as when we were there and the water didn't go down as far. There were not very many people out either. We ended up getting hit by a couple of sneaker waves. Chas was filling up our bucket with water and a wave hit him and he lost the clam! I waded back out and found it . We quit shortly thereafter. We ended up getting enough clams for a nice clam fry before the kids decided they were too cold! We all had pretty wet feet and the kids were very excited to have a fire. We roasted marshmellows on the beach and enjoyed the night . I think the highlight for the kids was roasting marshmallows and staying warm around the fire. It wasn't terribly cold but once our feet were wet it got miserable in a hurry. They are excited to go back when we have warmer shoes!!

did you camp or just make a one day trip?
it was a really quick trip. We left at 3 in the afternoon and were back by 11 PM that night. As always the kids were champion travelers. Having a movie playing on my laptop always helps.
Looks like a fun and tasty time. I can't wait to go clamming again.
So did you fry the clams right there on the beach???
It looks like a lot of fun =)
We are actually frying the clams tonight for dinner. It would be fun to have them on the beach but I like cleaning them in a very well lit area with lots of fresh water to rinse things off.
oh yea, I forgot about that part
Did you ever, ever think you would be living in the paradise of the Washington/Oregon Coast? You lucky dogs!! You must have bought another gun, right? Any idea when they’ll open the season again?
The season opens back up in December for another weekend. I'm not sure if we will go for that one with Crystal's due date so close.
