Arcadia Beach

On a recent family camping trip we pulled over at a little place along the highway called Arcadia Beach. We had never been here before. It was a cute fun little piece of beach.

We had a picnic here. Luke played on the tree trunk. (Hannah is going to show me how to make my pictures turn up the right way!! Or I will have to just stop taking long way pictures!!)

There were 3 or 4 picnic tables and a bathroom (yeah) and we enjoyed our picnic which included squeaky cheese and sausage and crackers from the Tillamook cheese factory. Sam was into his book and carried it along for the picnic. He was reading "Skin" by Ted Dekker, Sam's new favorite author. (I did read Boneman's Daughter by him and liked it.)

Down on the beach the tide was going out and there was a little alcove and cave like areas. We are not sure what this green stuff is. Looked pretty on the rocks though. The rocks were also covered with little muscles (the kind in shells that some people actually eat)!

The rock was really cool looking. Not as cool as Rob as course but cool none the less.

Hannah and Luke looking at the rock. (Luke is not doing what it may look like he is doing!! He used the restroom up by the picnic area! I promise!)

Sam and David very interested in whatever Isaac is saying. A rare picture in deed!!

Sam and David climbed up on the rocks. And looked down in disdain as I had them pose for yet another picture.

We had a great time on our camping trip and enjoyed discovering this little piece of beach we had not previously known about. Millie

What fun!! Looks like you guys had a really good time!! Stuart and I will have to check it out, and I am so jealous you got to go to the Tillamock Cheese Factory!! That is one thing on our to do list, that keeps getting longer and longer!! I can't believe this heat, holy cow!! We swam at the pool most of the day today!! Probably the same tomorrow, whatever keeps us cool, and well the girls love it!!
