the coast








We took a trip this weekend to the Oregon coast, where we spent Saturday night. We arrived in time for low tide and explored the tidepools below Yakina Head lighthouse, finding crabs, anemones and sea stars. Then we headed to the Hatfield Science Center to visit Jimmy the octopus. They have a Giant Pacific Octopus display- actually we saw Mia- 3 octopuses have been rotated out since Jimmy but Owen doesn't know that. We watched Mia eat a live crab for lunch. Then we spent some time at the Oregon Coast Aquarium before heading to our hotel for the night. Sunday was Valerie's 3rd birthday party, and today was Richard's birthday. We've eaten lots of cake so far this week.
