Beach Day 5

We headed into Newport on Thursday, hoping to tour the Yaquina Head Lighthouse. Sadly the tours were all full, so we couldn't see inside. BUT... we made the best of it and headed south to the Yaquina Head Lighthouse, the same one we visited last year. The kids had fun touring it again, and we were glad to see that.

Matthew in from of the Lighthouse we DIDN'T get to see. Sigh...

But we DID see the Oscar Meier Weiner Mobile! :)

A fun time at the lighthouse indeed. 

We got back to Lincoln City and hit the beach for the afternoon. The kids had so much fun playing together, and Doug and I got some time to watch them and relax a bit! 

Lots of little fishies in the water. Evelyn just had to go put them back into the ocean. Sweet girl!

This pesky little seagull tried to take our snacks... we caught him just in the nick of time!

The kids chasing the other sea gulls away!

After dinner we went back to the beach one last time. The kids wanted to wear their bathing suits... it was a good idea since they got soaked once again! :)

Daddy showing off his rock skipping skills!

The quintessential beach shot for sure!

Sunset.. our last night.

We sadly headed home the next morning, but on the drive we recounted all the cool things we had done during the week and thanked God for such a special time at a special place. We are already looking forward to next year!!
