Come have FUN with the Conrads!!!

We lean on Jesus as He is our strength for everyday.
1 Peter 4:11 Whoever speaks, is to do so as one who is speaking the utterances of God; whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving by the strength which God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Our First Trip to the Oregon Coast


Our trips starts at Camp 18.  We were a bit late for breakfast, but we toured the grounds and found all sorts of neat machinery and trains for logging.  Amazing and large!

Then we were off to Seaside Beach!  Delicious sandwiches and we learned about Tsunami's.  They haven't had one for 100 years that caused any damage, but signs are everywhere about the risk. 

Adeline loved the water. Esther was more into the sand.  It was cold! Water temp today was 58!
There was a discovery area on the beach and we learned all about sand dollars, sand and magnetite in the sand by dragging around magnets!
 

This is Haystack Rock at Cannon beach!  Very big.  At low tide you can walk out there… don't get traped at high-tide though.  This was a brighter and warmer feeling beach.  Less magnetite I think making the sand no so black! 
 
 
 

Here we are off of 101 with one of the many look-outs!  Wonderous sights.  How amazing is our God!
 

This was in the Tillamook area.  Where we got cheese samples and ate some
ice-cream from the Tillamook dairy.

Loved the winding roads through the mountains, the tunnels… a lot of fun!  Can't believe this is all a little over an hour away! The sun didn't come out until mid afternoon.  I don't know if that is normal or not, but the temperatures seem to be a bit lower today overall everywhere.

Come visit us!
