Just the Boys

Michelle and the kids drove out to Seaside where I was working. Even though we live in Oregon it still seems like we are on vacaction every time we go to the coast. Tate ended up spending the day with me on Friday as I worked the remainder of the Coast. He sat in the doctors waiting rooms playing with toys or coloring.





We stopped along the 101 highway at a lookout over the ocean and ate lunch at the Cheese Factory in Tillamook. The best part of the day was spent at the Tillamook forest center. It sits on the Wilson river and is very kid friendly. There is a ranger lookout station that you can walk up into without a guide, exhibits inside to teach kids about the forest, movies, clothes for kids to try on, tons of trails to hike, and camping. Tate liked throwing rocks into the river more than anything else and would laugh as the droplets would come back to get me wet. This was because I was throwing rocks the size of small cars or so it seemed. He loved trying on the firefighter clothes. He said he is going to be a firefigther, Jet pilot, and Baby Doctor. He be great at whatever he does because of his determination. Tate had a great time or maybe it was the big kid with him that had the great time.
