Oregon 2015 - Day 7

We decided for breakfast on our last full day at the cabins we would go to a place just down the street from the RV park and down by the dock that has BACON painted really big on the side of their building.  We figured you couldn't go too wrong with bacon.  All the family decided to come with us and try it out.  They had a table that had chalk board paint on the top so all the kids colored on the table as we waited.  The food took a long time and wasn't all that great, so now we know.  But it was a fun experience.

After breakfast we walked to a little shop across the street from the restaurant.  They had fun things and Megan found a stuffed crab that she liked.  I guess after crabbing so thinks they are pretty cool.
After that we headed back to the cabins where the kids decided to do some more racing.  Tyler did pretty good last night against the older cousins so he wanted to see if he could bet them or at least come close.

Tyler did pretty good against most of the kids, but Conner was just too fast for him.  He kept trying to win and kept racing, so I was proud of him for not giving up.  All the kids had fun racing.  Even us old adults raced each other.  I beat my mom, but that's all.  We were mainly going for fun and a little exercise.

There is a really nice candy store in Coos Bay that we found last time we were there and we knew we wanted to go back.  They have tons of samples of their products out for you to taste.  If you want to try something that's not out then they will get some out and give you a taste.  We knew we wanted to pick up something for grandma Margie so it was fun taste testing to decide what to get.

After we went to the candy store we decided to go visit my grandpa one more time.  We weren't sure what else we'd be doing that day so we didn't want to miss out on saying our good-byes.  Great grandpa Clark didn't want to get up to take the picture so we all just piled in around him.  He doesn't say much, but his heart is big and I know that he loves me and my family.  He has been such an amazing example to me in my life.  It was great spending time with him this trip.
We had a bunch of empty bottles that we tried to recycle but apparently you have to go to a certain place that has a machine, so we decided not to worry about it and just leave the bottles for the clean up crew at the cabin.
Earlier in the day I asked the kids what they wanted to do on our last day here and Tyler said he wanted to go to the beach.  Josh said he wanted to stay in the cabin and play the tablet all day...hmmm, he may have an addiction problem.

Josh did end up staying at the cabins with my mom while we all went to breakfast.  My mom didn't want to go out to breakfast and Josh really wanted to stay and play the tablet.  I fed him before we left and then he got to hang out with grandma in her cabin.
Tyler got his wish to go to the beach.  After our morning adventures we came back to the cabins and the kids quickly got ready to go.  Josh is the only one who put on his swim suit.  They others said that they were just going to play in the sand...famous last words.
I stayed back at the cabin with Allie because I thought that she would go down for a nap.  I gave her a bottle but then she just wanted down to play.  She ended up playing the whole time the rest of the family was at the beach.
Tony said that Josh was fearless in the ocean.  He wold go out just as far as the older kids and just let the waves knock him down.  He had a wonderful time playing in the sand and ocean.  I am sure it was much better then the tablet. 
Megan was playing in the sand with her cousins when they decided to bury themselves in the sand.  I got this picture of Megan on my phone from Julie, it is pretty darn cute.  She was super dirty when she came back from the beach, well they all were.  Tyler was pretty wet and dirty too.  Should've worn swim suits.
Tonight was the last night of going to Dairy Queen each night with my siblings.  It has been fun to take a half an hour at the end of night just visiting with each other over ice cream.  It is only a half an hour because we leave at 9:30 and they close at 10.  I didn't get ice cream every night, especially the nights we had ice cream other places.  It was fun just spending that time with each other.  What a fun tradition.  I can't believe it's already over.  Time to pack up and head out tomorrow.  I sure hope we get to come back next year, this has been great.
