Spindrift: Ocean Plunge

Aside from beach walks, kite flying and eating there was a lot of sitting around reading and chatting on our trip. Also parsing the definitions of words using the huge dictionary. At one point we were discussing how could the Oregon Coast is most of the year and how the water is positively frigid. Matt suddenly disappeared into the bedroom, then reappeared a moment later in his swimsuit and carrying a towel. He ran out the door and all the way down to the water. The tide was out, so it was a long, long way. Stephen followed suit. (heh!) Into the water they plunged, while we--snug, dry and warm in the cottage groaned aloud.

Jim went out to capture the moment and back they walked.

Matt looking cheery post-plunge.

Stephen also wet, cold and cheery.
It was a lovely weekend, and I'm especially thankful to Deborah for inviting us. Harrah Spendrift!

There's always someone, right! I like how Matt was spontaneous and jump right up when the spirit moved him!
