Saturday was so windy.
The sun broke through sometimes but it seemed like in an instant it could tuck behind rain clouds that would open up.
The weather was a bit unpredictable.
While at Glass Beach, the skies darkened. Thunder and lightening started out off the coast so we slowly started meandering toward the cars.
And then BAM, hail storm. There was nowhere to hide and the hail hurt! It was short lived but followed by a downpour. By the time we all got back to the car, our coats, sweatshirts, and jeans were soaked through. It was actually a bit humorous.
Sunday was April 1st. You know, April Fool's Day. I have been pulling food pranks on the kids every April Fool's Day for years now. Usually it's something delicious that looks like a different food than they expect. This year, since we were out of town, it was easier to pull the gross prank. For breakfast they got pancakes made with bitters and covered in corn starch and baking powder. Carley didn't notice at first and was prepped for another bite when Josh got a mouthfull.
After a good laugh, the kids got to eat real pancakes with real powdered sugar.
After the stormy weather on Saturday, the ocean was really big, beautiful but violent on Sunday. We had planned on a Sunday afternoon whale watching boat trip but the company cancelled the trip due to the waves.
Sunday was beautifully sunny and we enjoyed it anyway.
The kids and I went back down to Glass Beach and successfully found decent-sized pieces of sea glass without being chased out by hail and a downpour.
Then we made a quick trip to MacKerricher State Park (we camped there in 2010) to walk the boardwalk trail and check out sea lions before our 4-hour drive home.
