Visit from afar

We were able to hook up with our close friends (ok, their like family), Josh and Jodi when they came through Oregon on their month long road trip/vacation. Since we have a full house we chose to meet up at the coast and do some camping.



We chose to go to Nehalem Bay, we had heard so many good things but had never gone ourselves. It was about 85 degrees in Newberg when we left, but typical Oregon Coast weather it was cold and windy at the coast.

We had already had one day of cold/windy weather so on the second day after it had rained on us for a while, we decided to head to Canon Beach to grab lunch. We retreated to Mo's so that Josh could have Clam Chowder in a bread bowl. :o)

After lunch the weather seemed to have cleared up a bit so we headed to Oswald State Park. It is so pretty there! We took a little hike into the cove and spent some time just playing on the beach. The tide was in to see the tide pools but we did see some sea life and found a couple hermit crabs.

I LOVE this picture (below)

The kids finally talked Jodi into a game of Don't Break the Ice.
