Life's a Beach!

Last weekend we took a gamble with the weather and headed to the coast. The girls were ready for some serious tide-pooling and seashell finding adventures. Mom and Dad joined us; although Mom enjoyed the views at the top of the hill from the car-so sorry no pictures of Mom.

The tide pools are always so cool.

Olivia was really creeped out by this snail. She also told me she would not step in any of the puddles because they were "full of disgusting creatures!"

I don't think he'd admit it; but Dad quite likes Finn.

You can't go to the beach with Dad and not leave with a picture like this.

Grandpa gave Olivia a lesson in writing her name.

She surprised us all by squatting down and writing her name pretty accurately.

Then she continued and wrote her "nic-name" which is really a story about a dinosaur at the beach eating a donut and chasing crabs.

A man and his poodle.

Cocoa enjoyed a chance to feel the wind in his ears.

After a most delicious lunch at Mo's we stopped at Depoe Bay to watch the waves crash and get some salt water taffy.

It was a rather nice day for February, the skies were blue and the sun even came out for a while. Ahhh, got to love a day at the coast!!!
