Before school starts! On September 4, we headed out to our favorite place on the coast, Pacific City and Tillamook. We first stopped at the Cheese factory and watched the making cheese then we ate some samples, Yum! And of course we couldn't leave the factory without getting an ice cream cone full of yummy Tillamook ice cream.
Then we went on to Pacific City and drove out on the beach like we
normally do, not noticing that no one else except four wheel drive
vehicles were on the beach. There was a reason for this, the sand was
super soft and not packed down at all like it usually is when we go out
there. We got Stuck! And I mean really stuck! We had people trying to
dig us out, pull us out, push us out and everyone gave up when the
van's wheels just dug in deeper except Pete. He was determined to dig
us out, we had a nice couple who stayed and the husband got under the
van with Pete to dig and the wife kept me company as I tried to keep the
baby occupied. She was so nice and really enjoyed talking to her. She
is from Australia and met her husband there when he was visiting. She
fell in love and came back with him to the states and married him. I
was so anxious about the van, it was nice to just chat with her and keep
my mind off the van and Pete digging it out. Well, after probably a
half an hour of digging they finally got it out of the crater it was
in. Hallelujah! I was so relieved! So grateful to our super nice
friends who helped us out.
The
rest of the time we were able to relax and just enjoy being on the
beach and enjoying the beautiful scenery. The kids love to dig in the
sand and play in the waves. My boys always want to climb the huge sand
dune. I love the Northwest.
