Ward Beach Day

Today was our ward beach day at Cape Lookout state park, as soon as we got out of the mountain range it started sprinkling on the car. We didn't check the weather before we left, so we had a change of plans. Ward beach day turned into a stop at the cheese factory and a trip to Cape Meares to look at the fancy lighthouse. I barely grabbed the jackets for the kids, I'm so glad I did!

Jenna showed us what to do with a beach pail when you can't go to the beach.

After lunch and ice cream at the cheese factory we headed over to see the lighthouse.

It was a really fun lighthouse, we got to go inside and take a look around the top. What a view!

We stopped to check out the octopus tree, which was really pretty cool. It was huge, 50 feet in circumference!
