Oregon 2015, Part 2...Cannon Beach

On our way to Cannon Beach, we stopped at the sand dunes and found a hill the kids could play on.  They spent some time racing down, flipping down, or watching others.  It was a great space for them to burn off some of their energy!








 We drove for a good portion of the day and stopped for a night in Rockaway.  The following day we finished the drive up to Cannon Beach, but first stopped in at the Tillamook Cheese Factory.
 We used up some leftover food from the reunion and made peanut and jelly sandwiches for breakfast.

Tillamook Cheese Factory.  We watched them make cheese, and then sampled some of it.  After touring the factory we bought ice-cream and enjoyed every little bit of it!




 We arrived at Cannon Beach mid afternoon.  In time to get settled into our condos and then go for a stroll on the beach.




The kids took advantage of the pool and hot tub and splashed around for a while.



 After dinner we took a drive up to Ecola State Park and Indian Beach.



Indian Beach...













 Trying to get the kids to cooperate for a family photo is nearly impossible! :)




 Our second morning...


After eating we made our way to town.





 The kids/some adults favorite stop in town! :)



 After town, we went back to the beach.  It was gorgeous!!  Warm and sunny and no wind.





It was low tide so we checked out the rocks for objects.






We found some starfish.







These puddles in the sand were quite warm.  It was a great spot for the kids to splash in!


 Skip ahead to evening.  After dinner we made our way back down to the beach.  It was still gorgeous with no wind!!



The light was beautiful!






 The evening was beautiful!







 Football on the beach.








 The end to a wonderful day!

The following morning we checked out of our condos and went to Arcadia for a bit.


These kids are squishable!!







We had so much fun getting to know these girls!!





It was fun seeing this relationship blossom!

After Arcadia we left the Pacific Ocean and headed inland.  We made a stop in Astoria and walked around some.




After Astoria we made our way to Clatskanie to Grandma and Grandpa's house.  Our final leg of our vacation in Oregon...
