Oregon Coast- Day 4

Our 4th day in Oregon was the day that we planned to head to the Coast for a few days... and look who showed up just in time to go with us!

Nana and Vatti

(they also brought Bridgett with them, and even convinced Martie (my step-grandma) to come too.)

First stop- Cannon Beach, or "The Cannon Ball Beach with the Haystack Rock" as Gavin calls it.

We were pretty excited to be there if you can't tell. We had to run in the freezing cold water just to show our enthusiasm.

Henry was not a fan of the wind, so he was a bit sullen and mopey at Cannon Beach. You can tell that he was the one born in Utah.

Next stop was a nice little hike to Smuggler's Cove. We did get lost a few times and Vatti had a root jump out of the ground and trip him, but it was all part of soaking up the green.

Caleb and Vatti watching the surfers brave the cold.

From there we headed to the beach house that Nana and Vatti had rented for us all to stay in together in Rockaway Beach. It was so fabulous to be right on the coast, and so nice to all be together. (Thanks Parents!)

Kaylee and Henry headed right into the sand to get filthy and start building castles.

Natalie showed off a few of her skills with the sand dragon. Vatti and Gavin gathered the shells and seaweed for all of his details... and supposedly Duane helped with the sculpting, but I was cooking dinner and didn't witness it.

Pretty Cool.

Nat also helped Bridgett decorate her sand turtle.

At the end of our first day is was still windy and cloudy and even rained a little, but luckily we had a diverse coast experience and have more to show as I continue to sort through the pictures and load all our readers with the full experience. :-)
