We began our 2014-2015 school year with a camping trip to a little seacoast town and ended up finishing our school year by heading back to Bandon-by-the-Sea! One of our favorite priests in our diocese was planning a Corpus Christi Mass & Procession at his parish and had asked Sean and our older boys to help so we quickly packed for the trip and left immediately after our End-of-School party!
Despite the crazy coastal winds, it was a beautiful day and it was such a joy to have the opportunity to attend a Corpus Christi procession this year. Here are the rest of the pictures from our weekend at the coast.

Veggies sautéed with Coconut Oil and Trader Joe's Garlic Salt and Sausage ... one of my AIP breakfast staples. Yum! |

It was way too windy and sand kept getting in her eyes... Time to head back. In the meantime borrowing my sunglasses helped put a smile back on her face. |
After the Corpus Christi rehearsal we visited the lighthouse and beach. You can see additional pictures from last year's visit to the Coquille River Lighthouse here.

We are able to pack along 5 bikes with this bike rack! |
The coastal winds (35 mph gusts!) made it incredibly challenging (and we were just little sore the next day!) but our three oldest children and I rode our bikes (against the wind most of the way) the three miles back to our campsite. It was a great workout! :)


.: Campfire, Crock Pot Chicken, S'mores & Roasted Bananas :.

While the kids roasted marshmallows I stuffed a couple bananas with cocoa nibs and coconut. They were, um, definitely not s'mores... ;) |

On Sunday, after the Corpus Christi Mass & Procession, we all went out for Ice Cream at Face Rock Creamery!
