I was reluctant to go on a week trip with a bus-load of 7th graders. Maybe reluctant is too nice of a term, but alas, after 5 days of great weather and no mishaps, it was not so bad.
Rain gear check the week before we left. Considering it was the Oregon coast, the assumption was there would be rain. I gave each kid a good douse to check their raingear. 
The main focus of the trip was a day of sea kayaking trip at the mouth of the Columbia River. 
The kids getting geared up in boats for the day.
Bird (or nerd) watching at Haystack Rock at Cannon Beach, Oregon. We were lucky to have the lowest tide of the year a real treat. 
The adults on the trip - A good group and we managed to keep each other sane.
