Sunday, still in Oregon!

Ah, the joys of the long weekend! We got to stay in Oregon all day Sunday and did not head home till Monday Morning!

Another super low minus tide (-2.8!!) This photo is taken almost at the water's edge. It is a LONG way back to the hotel!!

Lon out after breakfast playing in the water!

Those star fish are cool Mom!  Daddy was impressed with the size of the mussels.  Some of them were HUGE!! I walked along and found some more agates. It was fun searching for them.

Watching the tide come in.

After the beach we went to Regatta Park!  Lon was having a blast!!

They had a bunch of great stuff for young guys to play on!

What a great place to relax! It was a Rotary Park, we saw the sign over the picnic shelter.

After we took Lon away from Regatta Park, we went in search of the Covered Bridge. Mark found it without the aid of the garmin! Good Job, Mark! It was a pretty place! There was a house on the other side of the bridge, we did not go there. On our side of the bridge there was a barn, which was open, and inside there were some beautiful carriages. There were also signs for the fair. 

The Bridge!

Being goofy by the bridge.

Lon got up on the old tractor all by himself, so I took his picture. He was not so impressed with it once he got up there.  He said it did not look like it would be fun to sit in it for long.  He was probably right.

Otis, Oregon! Except for the gas station across the street, this was it.  We love all towns named Otis!

We drove the Scenic Drive. It was scenic.

Scenic

We saw this lovely just looking at us.

After our drive, we drove by Pig N' Pancake. We noticed it was not open for dinner. OH NO! So we stopped for lunch. Pancakes for lunch! Yummy! Lon ate his entire plate of sand dollar pancakes!

After lunch, Lon and I went to the beach. Daddy went for a walk down the beach to see how far he could go! Mark walked about 2 miles! Lon is trying to fly his Star Wars kite. We did okay.

Running along the sand!

Digging large holes in the sand

In the water. I told him he could not go into the water above his ankles. I did not want him caught in a sneaker!

MOM! geez, you take too many pictures!

Back into the water

Lon found a friend to help him dig in the sand! They had a great time on the beach digging deep trenches!

They were not too happy about the waves washing away their trenches

After our afternoon at the beach, we got a little cleaned up and went to a place called Roadhouse 101. Great burgers. It was a fun place to eat. They had buckets of peanuts on the tables and you could just toss your shells onto the floor! It was fun. Lon had a little trouble just tossing the shells on the floor at first, but he got used to it.

The next morning we made our way back up to home. We had a wonderful time in Lincoln City. We will be going back !!
