More Beach Time

Jayden and I moved the couch right in front of the sliding glass door so we'd have a great view of the beach. Then, the two of us sat there and pigged out on Jelly Bellies while Libby and Peyton slept. It turned out to be a great spot to snuggle with the girls once they woke up.

A late afternoon stroll on the beach. It was cold!

Libby could barely move in her coat and she wanted me to hold her. Grammy Jane made her tough it out and walk!

Jayden flies Libby's kite for her. He was much more interested than she was.

Peyton gets ready (to sleep) for a walk on the beach.

This is a good way to travel if you're the one in the pack.

Jamison takes a break with Coco.

Libby gets a little tangled up in her kite.

Oh. For. Cute.

Okay, this is Cape Perpetua where we stopped on the way back south before heading home. It's right above Devil's Churn which is really fun to watch. However, I did not love this little venture. The night before, we were watching the Portland news and they aired a story about a little girl who fell through a railing at the Oregon Coast. Luckily, she grabbed ahold of some plant life on the side of the hill which kept her from falling down the cliff face. Her cousin jumped over the railing and saved her. If you haven't seen it, go to You Tube and search for Oregon Coast girl. Watch it. Then, you'll understand why I didn't like having the girls up here. I told my mom she couldn't let go of Libby's hand, and I was the first one in the car and ready to head back down. I don't mean to be such a fun hater, but that sort of thing stresses me out now that I have kids.

We pulled off the highway just North of the Sea Lion Caves to get a good look at the Heceta Head Lighthouse. As a bonus we got to watch hundreds of Sea Lions doing their thing on the beach. Look at the beach on the right. All of the dark part is covered with Sea Lions. They were in the surf too, and barking and stinking like crazy. We even got a fly by from a Coast Guard helicopter while we were there. Very exciting. Check out this weather!
