Oregon Coast

We got back this weekend from a trip to the Oregon Coast. We stayed in this small beach house called "Angelic Abode". Wondering about how the house got that name? Well, turns out there is two to six angels everywhere you look! A whole lot of them. Everywhere. Made us smile though. Plus the price was right.

We had a great time with our friends, the Robertsons. We did some hiking, crabbing, and spent lots of time on the beach.


Parker enjoyed this pink sea star that one of the crab catchers caught (how's that for a tongue twister) by accident.


Here is a picture of the first crab we caught. A red rock crab of the female variety. The kids were very excited! Lowden got brave enough to hold it. Reminds me of the first story, he ever dictated to me which was titled "How we caught the crabs". Which always makes me laugh!


The kids saw these sea gulls and couldn't resist trying to sneak up on them. Made us laugh! The sea gulls flew away one by one. Not impressed.


We found this fun blowhole in Yachats. So, of course, the kids got very wet. We are learning to not go to the beach without the kid's swimsuits on....because even if you are not planning on it...they will still end up wet. Hope you are having a fun summer!
