Gross Clan: Oregon Coast

Oregon Coast

Over Memorial weekend we took a crazy quick trip to the coast in southern Oregon. We left Thursday evening and were home before sunrise on Monday morning. Our trip was originally planned to be a little longer, but Donovan couldn't get away from work. We decided that a quick trip was better than no trip, and it sure was! Ellie and Ronan did SO good, were such good, happy little campers; they really enjoyed our trip and didn't complain about all the time they were stuck in the their carseats. Such troopers.

Checking out all the muscles on the rocks at low tide.

The starfish were everywhere and were gigantic!

HUGE and so pretty, bright and colorful.

Puddle jumping mastered.

So much discovery in the tide pools.
