The trial head.
Pup creek.
Will the mud monster. "Mud is good for everything! It keeps the bugs off of you and prevents sunburns."
Here is the Sarlacc, the pit from Star Wars, that my nephews built at the camp site. My camera died just as I was taking a picture of Will being devoured.
Riding the waves without a boat.
Maggie and Charlie playing with "Jim" the bulldozer. Jim is a very hungry bulldozer that we found on the beach. He likes to eat macaroni and cheese cakes.

This was the morning that it was so foggy, we almost couldn't find our way back to the motel.
First we went to Cannon Beach, but it was very crowed and very windy and baby Stella did NOT like the wind. So we moved to...
(Maggie and Charlie being silly.)
...Hug Point Beach. Hug Point is one of my favorite beaches. It's about five minutes past Cannon Beach. It's pretty small and secluded and doesn't look like much until you go around the point and then you see all the sea caves and the waterfall and the wagon trail. It's a really neat place! Above are the wagon ruts at Hug Point. During the Oregon Trail the wagon train blasted a path through this cliff that can still be seen today at low tide. Now it's a pretty cool tide pool.
The tide pools in the wagon ruts.

These are the flashlights in the dark. I liked walking just at the right pace to be between groups and then turn off my flashlight, so that I was alone in complete darkness... kinda scary, but fun!
This is the entrance to the cave.
Here is a lava flow found inside the cave.
The lantern in the dark.
The vent. You don't realize just how dark it is until you see some light.
And this is where I hurt my knee. We had to climb up that and I lost my footing right and the top, and ended up bruising up my knee pretty good.
This is the exit out of the upper caves.
And this is a lava flow outside the cave.
