So as the
youngest I don’t have near as many good family memories from when I was
younger. The one thing that I always remember though is all our family trips to
the beach. Whether it was just for the day or we would stay overnight at the D’
Sands Hotel. And the great thing about Lincoln City is that they have a outlet
mall there with a decent sized toy store called K.B. Toys.
It was always a
tradition to go there and get sand buckets, shovels, kites, and who knows what
else. But we’d always go there or throw a tantrum until we got to go there (or
throw a tantrum ‘til we got to go there, usually me) and now we are all grown
up and don’t go there as a family much anymore, the K.B. Toys went out of
business. And I like to joke around saying that we were the ones keeping it in
business hahahaha.
My moment I
remember the strongest is the one time we went there and Therese’s boyfriend,
now husband, Kevin was on crutches. But that didn’t stop him from coming down
into the sand and playing with us young ones. Him and my brothers made this
huge circle in the sand and built a kind of bunker looking thing on top of the
circle and it looked pretty good. Well I was with my sister and we weren’t
around while they were doing all this but we came back and Kevin was sitting in
the middle of the circle and the bunker type wall covered up his legs and stuff
so I thought that he was standing in this huge pit that they had dug out while
we were not around. I was completely amazed and in total awe because this isn’t
a short guy he’s a big guy like 6’5” guy. But then I realized he wasn’t
standing but just sitting. :)
