We stayed the night in Brookings at the nicest hotel. It was so clean and the owner was super nice. I wish I could remember the name of it! In the morning we headed up the 101 along the Oregon Coast.
We all loved driving along the ocean and watching the waves. We even saw some seals on a beach as we drove by. We wanted to explore some tide pools with the kids so as soon as it stopped raining we found a place to explore. Holden was really excited to head down to the ocean.
We found some cool stuff!
It didn't take Holden long to become terrified of the ocean. The weather was pretty crazy and the waves were breaking not very far from where we were exploring. Then it started to pour. Again. So we headed back to the car. We took this picture on the way back. Josh told Holden to stick his tongue out and it became a trend...
We stopped at the Marine Hadfield Science Center to see the sea creatures. Logan, Jensen and Ally enjoyed seeing and touching the creatures. Holden was having nothing to do with it though. He finally touched one right before we left.
He liked looking at the fish and other creatures.
Then we made a stop in the pouring rain a the Yaquina Bay Lighthouse.
Next stop was the Yaquina Head Lighthouse. Logan and Jensen loved watching the ocean.
Holden was absolutely terrified and ran right back to the car in tears-poor kid!
A very wet family!
