Cannon Beach, OR.

We recently took a family trip to Cannon Beach, Or. What a great time, we were right on the beach and it was amazing!
The kids got to explore tide pools and see wonderful sea life near "Haystack Rock".




My favorite was this very purple starfish.

This wall is COVERED in shells, either oysters or mussels, not sure which.


When we got to our room, the resort had these ADORABLE robes for the kids to wear. They of course loved them and wore them to the pool every night.

Evenings were spent cooking over a fire on the beach, couldn't get any better. This is the kids first attempt at smores.
Darin in his element. The meal shown here is actually roast lamb with potatoes and asparagus. Who eats like this? Oh ya, we do.



Cameron of course had to find the best stick on the beach.

Notice the coffee?? Always a must during a morning walk on the beach.

roast lamb? seriously.
My idea is an annual Leonardson/Griffiths trip to Cannon Beach!

What a fantastic series of shots to commemorate your time to Cannon Beach! Thank you for sharing! I miss your faces and cannot wait to have some time with the Leonardsons... and I'd like to be in line for a Leonardson/Schei trip to Cannon Beach as well. ;) I expect crab and lobster though... a little more appropeau, wouldn't you say?

Looks like you all had a wonderful wonderful time at Cannon Beach and that beach dinner, wow! Yeah, the only people I know who eat like that is the Leonardsons'. Glad you all had a wonderful time. Love, Auntie, Lynda
