Wednesday we woke to cloudy skies on the verge of rain. It was family picture day so we hoped that all would go well! For this photo we stood on the beach with white shirts, khaki bottoms, and bare feet. We didn't have anyone to take our picture so we asked someone on the beach if she wouldn't mind snapping a quick photo or two. Turns out she is a photographer! She got some great pictures with my digital camera as well as a few on her much nicer camera. The pictures were fun and it started raining as we were walking home. How perfect! After the family photos we took some fun pictures with our matching shoes.
For our last day we decided to go whale watching at the post in Depoe Bay and revisit the Yaquina Head lighthouse. We didn't see any whales (imagine that since it isn't mating season) but we had fun watching boats enter the harbor (remember it's the world's smallest). At the lighthouse we went to the visitor's center to look around then "hiked" to the lighthouse and spent time at the beach below. The beach had neat rocks on it that sound like applause when the waves wash over them. It is also nesting season for many birds in the area so there were birds everywhere!
For our last evening we made a trip to the beach (surprised?) but this time with sand toys in hand. Janelle, Melanie and I spent an hour or so building a sand castle before heading home for burgers. We took to the hot tub again before staying up late to finish a puzzle and clean things up to leave.
