Cannon Beach Revisited



 The last weekend of June brought with it another trip to Cannon Beach. This visit's weather was drastically different than our day trip just a month before. Thanks to some generous friends, we had a lovely beach home to stay in free of cost! Grammy and Granddad joined us for three of the four days. The house was located so close to the beach that just a short walk across the road took us straight to the waves and thanks to the hot weather, we spent four lovely days basking in the sun on the OR coast. Our days were filled with water, sandcastles, kite flying, beach snacks, lazy dinners, tide pool exploring, coastal town shopping, reading, Uno games and of course s'mores around the campfire pit!! 










Good thing Grammy was along to help us get this kite in the air! 




Aunt Kath and Uncle Tom joined us for dinner one evening at Mo's. Yum! Abby came along too and Leila had a great time running her up and down the beach. 






The three of us Taverns spent one extra day without Grammy and Granddad and instead of hitting the same beach spot as the previous three days, we decided to travel south about ten minutes toward Hug Point. By this point our sandcastle building skills had reached their peak, so we build a pretty killer castle that afternoon! 




This beach had some new things to explore. 








There was a sandbar here too. L and C braved the high water to cross to the sandbar. I would have too, but I had my nice camera and we were quite a ways up the beach for me to walk back and leave it. So, I stood on shore and took pictures. Next time, I'll go too!! 



It was such an amazing weekend! We loved the beach, the town and spending time with Grammy and Granddad.
