Saturday at the coast

We had a hard time getting moving Saturday morning.  This was Belle and I having a hard time getting going right after we woke up:)

I could get used to strolling along the coast every morning....

Then after breakfast we went tide pooling and had so much luck finding agates and shells that we could have stayed there all day!

Pace and Nolan:

Maddie was specializing in finding shells everywhere she looked:

The rest of us were mostly searching for agates:

At first Nolan and Shawn were the only ones that could spot agates, but before long we all started seeing them.  Our combined efforts!:

After lunch we headed to the Tillamook Cheese Factory! The factory is remodeling, and we were a little disappointed that we didn't get to tour the whole thing and see all the cheese on conveyor belts and what-not, but we still got to sample the cheese and have their amazing ice cream!  Plus Isabelle found a boyfriend...:

And she even got her dad to pose with some of the farmers there:

...So I guess it was a pretty worthwhile stop!:

After that, we left for home because we needed to be in church Sunday for my new calling.  I think, we should start memorizing something else right away, so that we can have an excuse to take off again soon!!
