The biggest blessing of Cannon Beach is making friends.  It seems as though we get to know people through our children.  Our children get to know kids in class and soon they just hang.  We are involved in our kids' lives and so talk to these kids and talk to their parents and pretty soon we are developing friendships too.  This is what keeps us coming back the same week.  Our kids put the pressure so that they can see their friends.  The messages are great but we no longer choose a week based on the message.
