We went around and saw quite a few extra things and read some interesting info. We went up to MacKenzie Head which is the first place where Lewis and Clark saw the Pacific Ocean. It also happens to be the location of some old defensive military gear (the guns are gone of course). We found out that the land the campground is on now didn't exist in the 1960's. 
When they built the jetties to tame the Columbia river estuary the land formed, it used to be bigger but in the last 20 years or so the ocean has been pulling it back out to sea. In this picture (if you can see it) the white dot in the middle is where the campground was, all of the land you see (except the hill in the background and foreground is new.

Here's our little family of four up at MacKenzie head.
Here's Kayda deciding that she likes to jump off of things whether she is jumping into the water or not.
Here's Grandma and Dillon having a great old time up there. Kudos to Grandma for being able to get Dillon to eat when mommy couldn't! It was really sunny and the sun hit the camera wrong but it was too cute to leave out!
We also went on a very short, easy "hike", if you can even call it that, to see the North Head lighthouse and we walked the original "lightkeeper's walk" to the gift shop. Grandpa decided that it would be funny to put some grass in his mouth.
Well Kayda is very observant and shortly thereafter was pulling the grass out of Grandpa's mouth and putting it in her own.On Thursday our friends Jesse and Kala (from Eastern) came down from Aberdeen with their almost 2 month old little girl, Madison. She's a little red head like her mom, she's teeny tiny and absolutely adorable.We didn't get a good picture. But I have to prove they came down! So here they are walking down a trail to another beach with us. The tiny little bundle in her arms is Madison even though you can't actually see her. Poor Jesse and Kala, we made them hike... Sorry!

after you upload before you hit the button to put them on the blog, you can say if you want your pics to be small med or large. So you can make them larger if you want to be able to see the stuff in them better. or not, just a thought because you kept saying....you cant see it but... or what ever. I am not being bossy or a know it all by anymeans.
