Since Big Tim didn't make it out to Oregon this weekend for a visit, we changed plans and decided to go camping again. I was lucky and found a cancellation reservation at a campground called Cape Lookout, in Tillamook. It was great--and on the Oregon Coast. We drove on Hwy. 6 through the Tillamook Forest, and on the way stopped at the
Tillamook Forestry Center. What a fun spot! There was so much to look at and learn about the history in that area. The boys hung out with Smokey the Bear.
Dan and the boys climbed to the top of this lookout tour at the museum. If you look closely (or double-click on the picture to enlarge it), you will see 3 heads peering over at the very top. Good news----they did not spot any new forest fires from way up high.
Cooking dinner on the firepit. It was a really tasty meal----corn on the cob, baked potatoes, grilled red peppers and mushrooms, and cilantro/chicken sausages. Nate ate 2 corns...he said about 25 times that it was "the best he'd ever tasted!"
We made a night time snack of Jiffy Pop Popcorn...always a crowd pleaser with the bulbous silver ball of popcorn. Nate doesn't quite get it--he calls it "Jiffy-Lube" popcorn.
Again, the boys LOVE the fire...complete pyro's who just can't stop putting their sticks in the coals and then writing with smoke, and snuffing out the fire on the tip. This whole love of fire must have it's origins in caveman days.
Perfectly roasted marshmallows again. They've got that skill down to a science! Yum.
Playing football on the beach and scooping sand. It was about a 3 minute walk from our campsite to the beach. Playing at the beach, and getting dirty around the campsite are two of their favorite things to do in the whole world... this place had the best of both worlds!
Chris and Nate proudly display their fashion jewelry that they made with daddy at the beach. A couple of sand-dollars and some stringy seaweed worked perfectly to make these necklaces!
