- We made bacon and waffles in the morning. Mmm! We also had fresh cherries we'd picked up on the road yesterday, in Oregon--fresh picked, that day, from CALIFORNIA! Doh! We just came from there! ;)
- We tried to go pay for the extra night (which I'd talked to someone at the park about on the phone, and they said we'd just take care of that when we got here, but the office was closed when we came in that night), and they had booked our site for the night....There was one other hook up site left, and Karry came to talk to me about it, ran back down to the office, and somebody else booked it during that time......We wanted to stay 1 more night, but had to leave!! Ugh....I was frustrated by the park's dishonesty to me over the phone. It's a very nice park, we'd love to stay here again sometime. Oregon parks seem less flexible than California parks...and busier, which seems so strange to me, it's COLD here!
- I brought the boys down to the beach while Karry buckled Ruby into her carseat (she was tired) and hooked up the trailer.
- We drove to a new campsite, 30 min south of where we were, dropped off the trailer, and then headed back to Newport.
- We ate lunch in a very empty Abby's Pizza and witnessed a road being blocked off (right out in front of the restaurant) because of a bomb threat. Scary!!
- We went ot the wax museum, and Ripley's Believe it or Not, and the Underwater Sea Garden. We stopped in the Rogue to see if they had any of their bottled rootbeer. We like different types of bottled rootbeer and wanted to try it when we were in Newport 2 years ago, but they were out. Well, they were out of it this time too!!!
- I went into an antique mall, which was very fun. Karry watched Ratitoulie special features with the boys.
- We ate dinner at the original Mo's in Newport, and had such yummy dessert. They make a brownie bottom (no nuts!) cheesecake which was sooooo good. We had multiple people make mention of our nice family, 4 kids, 3 boys, and sweet girl tonight. :) Old ladies are particularly fond of Ruby. :)
She was blowing snot bubbles this morning, and she had goobers from raspberry bars (like fig newtons) all over her disposable bib...All of her real bibs are in our dirty laundry baskets...This is what we've got til we get home (unless we buy 1 more cheesy bib from a souvineer shop, which we don't want to do!)!!
The boys playing down at the beach, throwing rocks into a little stream.
Kaleb's 2nd attempt at photography. :) His first attempt cut off my head.
Us at Abby's Pizza.
Karry eating his favorite food. I think it was chicken and vegetables. mmmm good! ;)
This was very interesting to see: it looked like little pink shrimps falling off of this not-so-sterile-looking metal thing into a big dump truck. There were birds landing on it all, and eating it. We were really grossed out by this...Is this REALLY how they ship little shrimps? We went in the shop right by there and asked what was in the truck. It was actually just shrimp shells, which, we learned, are used for fertilizer!
The boys with the diver from the Underwater Sea Garden show. They asked him all kinds of fun questions. Isaac's so funny, look at his arm around the guy. Silly kid...
One of the sea lions we saw righ tover the edge o a bridge.
Us at Mo's. Noah (and the other boys) weren't really paying attention to the fact that we were getting our picture taken.
The waitress gave them little shark toys:
And I meant to bring the one for first graders also...oops!
