We love the Rogue! This year we had to go to a different lunch place, so we were bummed about missing out on Lucas Lodge. The food and experience was good at the new place so that was nice. Everything else was the usual awesomeness and we all loved it!
We love taking the toys to Sunset Beach and playing in the water. The weather was cool and windy. The kids didn't care, but I did so I did not go into the water. I enjoyed watching them play and taking the pictures. Tony was a trooper and took the kids out on the water. It's so pretty there and we had such a good time.
We started our morning with ditching the kids at the cottage and going to breakfast with all the adults at the Cape Cafe. Tony and I shared the Big Nasty again and it was delicious.
After breakfast we got the kids and we all went to the farmers market in Coos Bay. We got lots of yummy berries and then went to the boardwalk for the traditional family pictures. We sure do love our traditions.
After the beach we had some lunch and then headed into town for some ice cream at the new Face Rock Creamery. Josh was very happy he felt better so he could have ice cream. We normally get Face Rock ice cream in Bandon, so we were super excited to enjoy this yummy treat in Coos Bay. Kevin and his family came and joined us too, which made it even better.
After eating we went to Mingus Park. It is a pretty and fun park to walk around. It also has great places to take family pictures. The kids always love taking pictures, he he.
That evening we all got together at the warehouse for a fire and some yummy smores. It is such a familiar feeling to be sitting around the fire outside the warehouse. Even though we can't go into Grandpa Clark's house (because of the renters) it is so nice to be able to use the property.
We spent the morning exploring the beach. Josh was feeling much better this morning and was able to come out and walk around the beach with the other kids. We can't get enough of this beach!
After eating some lunch and checking on Josh (who still was really sick) we went to Shore Acres State Park. This is also very close to our cottages, so we could get back to Josh quickly if we needed to. Thankfully we did not need to leave early and Josh got in some good naps.
We love Shore Acres and go there every year. We love the rose gardens and all the other places to explore. We always see wildlife and have a great time soaking in all the beautiful sites.
