At the Ocean...Day 4 - Part 3

Once we were done at the lighthouse, we finished the loop and drove to Oceanside, OR. I love that little town too. It is all built on the hills over looking the ocean. Simply breath taking! What a view some of those homes must have! And a BIG price tag on them too!

We decided to play on the beach and look for agates. This beach is known for them. The kids we so excited to go exploring! We didn't bring swimming suits or towels, but we figured the kids would just play in the sand.

Emma, Daddy and Caleb feeling the waves!

Caleb and Emma were loving the water...of course!!! We tried really hard to get them interested in looking for rock and agates. That only worked for a little while.

Then the farther down the beach we went, well, we were out of luck! The kids found a tide pool...THAT WAS WARM! It was all over then. They started to walk in the water. Then they got a little braver and start to play. Well, after that it was pretty much a free for all. Get as wet as you can before mom or dad can stop us! Oh well, mommy and daddy didn't freak out about it. I did remove their sweat shirts first! THANK GOODNESS!!! Just let them be kids and have fun!! And they did!!

Caleb having too much fun to notice that he is SOAKED!

After the kids were busy playing and daddy was watching them. I went off with Nakita to taking some pictures of the waves crashing on the rocks. So beautiful and powerful! I could have sat there all day watching that, but eventually the waves would take over the rocks and I would be swimming. So, watching for a little bit anyway. Ha Ha!

We ate supper at Dooger's at Cannon Beach for Todd's birthday. While we were getting started Pastor Jim and Ellen walked in and they joined us too! It was such a nice surprise to have them with us again! Of course, eating together is not enough time to talk...nope we have to stand around in the parking lot and chat too. I have to laugh at us all! We have such a great time together! But alas, the campfire was calling out name. So we said our good-byes to the Lester's and headed back to camp.

We sat around the campfire when we got back. We were telling jokes and stories causing us to laugh out loud! So loud that the park range came to remind us that is was quiet hours! I can't believe we got told to me quiet! Ha Ha! It was so funny! I felt like a kid being scolded by an adult!

It was such a fun day! But wow...were were so busy!
