Tillamook and Cannon Beach

One of Grandma and Grandpa Naylor's favorite things to do while in Oregon is to go to the Tillamook Cheese Factory.  We decided to see what all the fuss was about and stop by.

It was fun to watch the workers in the factory.  They even waved at us!

Of course we had to take a picture in the loaf love bus.  I hope they have this next time we come for a visit so I can get another picture of the kids in it.
Our next stop was at Cannon Beach. It actually stopped raining while we were there! Holden was not excited to be there, though.  He was still scared of the ocean and didn't want to get any closer.  We're mean parents and made him stay anyway.
The other kids were so happy to walk on the beach.  It was their first experience on an Oregon beach (or any beach, really).  Holden was fluctuating between being scared and curious.
The kids all took turns writing their names in the sand.  Holden found a stick and wrote his name, too!  He only had help with the last two letters.  Not bad for a four and a half year old!
Logan found 50 cents.
Holden got closer and closer to the ocean until he started having a ton of fun!
In fact, he ended up loving it!  He said he liked the "actual" beach.  I guess the rest of the day we weren't really by the real beach.  He's such a funny kid!
We ended up spending the night in Astoria, Oregon in a brand new hotel.  We had a room looking over the bay.  We listened to the sea lions barking all night (it was charming, not annoying) and watched the huge ships come in.  It was a very fun, exhausting day!
