It was amazing weather again this year. 65 degrees! Isabelle and her friends even swam in the ocean. Here's a shot of her and Gigi right as they were getting in...I think they almost abandoned ship, but they powered through. There was a darling little seal that wanted to swim with them, but he always stayed about 15 feet away. It was adorable!
The coast never ceases to amaze me. Absolutely breathtaking.
Izzy had a lot of fun with her friends. It always amazes me that they have any energy at all after their meets. Those girls work so hard! Here's a shot of them being goofballs at the old lighthouse (all that is left is the foundation):
When the sun started to go down, Isabelle took the opportunity to take some pictures. She is really good! I am not as good, so I just took a picture of her taking pictures. I wish you could see how high above the ocean she is in this photo...it was making me nervous that she was standing on the edge of the foundation.
And I can't leave out the best supporters on the planet. As far as little brothers go, I think these two are pretty exceptional! Two peas in a pod for sure :)
We tried to mix things up a little this year, so we stopped at the John Dellenback Dunes Trail. It started like this...
and ended like this:
It was just a short 2 mile walk to the beach where there were sea lion pups! We didn't have much time to explore, so we will definitely go back next year. Our last stop on the way home was the Dean Creek elk viewing area. It is right off the highway near Reedsport, and we weren't disappointed! This little guy hopped the fence which made for some great photos...I guess the grass really is greener on the other side ;)
All in all, another great road trip!
