Arcadia Beach

Hi Grandma,

The singles ward had a beach trip a week ago and we went and took some pictures for you. The whole drive out there looked like it was going to be a typical cold, windy day at the coast but right when we got to Highway 101 the clouds broke and it was a beautiful day. It was sunny and around 70 degrees with only a slight breeze. We were just south of Cannon Beach and we had a BBQ and then took a walk to some tide pools. Here are some pictures from the trip:

Aren't we cute?

You couldn't dream up a more perfect day at the Oregon Coast!

There were lots of seagulls of course!

There were lots of pools of water from where the tide
had gone out and they were warm and your feet
would sink right in. I had fun walking through those!

The tide pools had tons of mussels, sea anemones and starfish
of all colors - red, orange, purple and green.

Did I mention LOTS of starfish?

Missy's first time touching a starfish!

We climbed this rock because I thought it looked like the
one in the movie The Lion King so this picture is for Blake too!

We tried to help Missy up but that didn't work out so well!

That was our day at the beach. Hope you enjoyed it as much as we did! If not, we will have to drive up and put some sand in your underwear drawer so you can get the full experience!

We love you Grandma!
