Coast trip

We have a photo from this trip on our fridge, and Cole has been asking recently to go back to the beach. So on Friday, when he had no school, the kids and I packed up to head to the coast. First stop, Nye Beach.




Then to Hatfield Marine Science Center.


This might be one of my favorite photos of Cole ever. In his preschool class, when they were learning shapes, they showed a photo of this bridge as an example of a semi-circle. There are billboards in Corvallis advertising Newport, and they use a photo of this bridge, so whenever Cole sees it he exclaims "semi-circle!". Needless to say, he was super excited to see it in person. We took this photo to show to his teachers.


Last stop of the day, the bayfront for some lunch and to pick up a crab for Cory. We hardly ever go to the coast, but its a fun, quick 1/2 day trip. And the kids had a blast.
