Another great day! Ryan, Clay, Greg, TJ, and Kylie got up at 7 and went down and did some serious crabbing. They caught 8 crabs in two hours which is better success than we've had in years past. Then we came down a few hours later with the rest of the squids and enjoyed a crab feast and hanging out on the docks.
It was all so delicious and I'm so proud of the kids for trying it. We all sat at a big picnic table and just talked and cracked crabs open, it really was so much fun.
We took the kids out to just have part of the experience and we ended up catching 8 more crabs in less than an hour. Very successful day for us with crabbing.
Emma has been in cousin heaven! She first became aware of the cousin concept when the Lakes came o Utah, and now that is her most favorite part of life...cousins!!
Afterwards we went to the Tillamook Cheese Factory for lunch, a tour of the factory, fresh cheese, and of coarse the best ice-cream ever!
Then we headed back up to Cannon Beach and decided to drive into Ecola Park. This is what Ryan's dreams are made of, lush green trees with a road winding through it. We are determined to bring our bikes next year and bike up this road, absolutely beautiful!
At Ecola Park we checked out the tide pools that were amazing. The starfish we beautiful and we caught little tiny crabs and fish. Emma is just so fearless and curious by nature, I just LOVE that about her.

After playing on the beach we all had dinner a Pizza A'Fetta and then went down to the beach again for a fire. We brought all of our stuff to play glow in the dark ultimate Frisbee and we just had such a blast playing that on the beach. Then we had s'mores and roasted starburst and stayed up until at least midnight visiting. Another perfect day!

I am so jealous! I so want to go to the Oregon coast. Your trip looks like so much fun and I think Emma might be the cutest thing that I have ever seen! So, I am totally up for a playdate, we have been slacking lately, so if you ever have any ideas let me know! Love reading your blog!
You're kind of rude to be rubbing this in our faces!! Just kidding. How lucky are you that your in-laws live in there so you can go visit and Emma can have all those Oregon experiences. I love my in-laws, but Preston isn't quite the funnest place to visit.
