Decided to drive west to the coast and then north on a little road trip. We stopped at Beverly Beach, at the recommendation of a friend. We'll definitely come back - it's a great beach!
There was this great sandy hill that several people were slowly climbing...and others kept attempting to climb, only to lose their footing and slide back down! We didn't go to the top, but Joshua was a little dare-devil and kept trying to go higher and higher! We got a great video clip of him scooting down on his bottom, knees angled away from him like chicken wings, flapping up and down as he bumped his way down!
Discovered a ladybug in the parking lot as we were about to leave. We're all quite fascinated by bugs of all kinds lately, and we were captivated as this critter crawled all over Joshua's fingers.
Stopped at our favorite Mexican food restaurant in Depoe Bay. Good food, bill was less than $15, plus the tableside binoculars for whale-watching. What's not to love?
After lunch we visited the Interpretation Center and within minutes we were part of a crowd that noticed a couple whale watching boats hovering in the same place. Could there be a whale right out there? Yes, and we got to see it! There were actually several swimming around in the short time we were there. It was very exciting!
Yes, that little blip to the upper right of the boat is a whale!!
Believe it or not, this is our almost 4 year old's very first ice cream cone! With a dairy allergy and an underdeveloped sweet tooth, he's just never been interested; although lately he has actually enjoyed the tart, fruity sorbet at our local self-serve frozen yogurt shop. So on this visit to our beloved Tillamook Cheese Factory, we ordered the sorbet in a kiddie cone with a bowl on the side to see what would happen...and Joshua fell in immediate slurpy, sticky love!
Not surprisingly, Joshua seriously contemplated chomping the bottom tip right off the cone fairly early on in the game. I'm sure one of these times he'll do it, and hopefully we'll have the camera nearby. :) Doesn't every kid do this at some point?
He became less interested in the soggy cone but was quick to resort to his spoon to scoop out every drop...
...and eventually couldn't resist tipping the bowl to slurp out every bit.
