Wednesday morning we woke up and the kids were itching to get down to the beach. So after a quick breakfast some of us adults walked down to the beach with all the little kids. It wasn't super warm so everyone had jackets on - but they didn't care one bit! They were just excited to see the ocean and play in the sand. Once we got there though, the draw to the water was too strong and most of the kids ended up playing in the water and trying to run away from the waves. The water was FREEZING so I'm not sure how they stayed in as long as they did, but they had a ball playing together.
Beck was so cute in his pjs and jacket just watching the other kids play in the water. He was the smart on though and didn't get wet or cold!
After a couple hours at the beach we headed back home and everyone promptly jumped into the hot tub to warm up.
After the beach we went into Depoe Bay and walked around the cute little coastal town for a bit.
Right across the street from all the shops we sat on the grass and watched the whales. For some reason the whales were right up close to the shore and we were able to see them while we sat there. It was so awesome and amazing to see those huge creatures!
No matter where we go Liev always manages to find a tree to climb in. He's such a funny boy.
We spent that afternoon at the tide pools and we all had a blast! We searched for little creatures and plants for hours in all the crevices and holes in the rocks. It was so fun and the kids couldn't get enough.
And we did end up finding quite a variety of things!
It was such a fun day and we have such a fun group!
On the way back home we stopped at the local taffy shop and watched them make salt water taffy and then came home with a bag of it to munch on the rest of the week. A perfect day on the Oregon Coast!
