Apparently I got too busy during the vacation to post more info. Our third day we went to go agate searching and then played frisbee on the beach. We didn't get very lucky with the agate searching. Dan did a really good job. He ended up with a lot of cool agates and cool rocks. Later on in the night we played frisbees on the beach. Our frisbees had lights in them so we could see them. It was so much fun!! Except we had to go chase down some of the frisbees in the ocean! After frisbees we went to the local store and bought firewood. We built a fire on the beach. I burnt my hand. Which was funny, and not all that painful. It really only burnt my hand hairs off, which stunk of course.
For Thanksgiving we stuffed our faces. My father-in-law Gregg is an AMAZING chef!!! He made a fantastic dinner for us all. We enjoyed every bite of it. I'm pretty sure I ate way way way way too much food. My mom, who was baby-sitting the ferrets, made them a wonderful turkey baby food Thanksgiving meal for them. Which I thought was awesome!
The next day we basically lounged around the house. We did pictures on the beach for the family Christmas card. I don't like any of the pictures so yeah... We also learned how to knit hats from Dan's aunt. It was a lot of fun and super easy!! There are knitting looms (known as Knifty Knitters) that make it even easier.
Our next day was dedicated solely to finding knitting looms for Dan, Me, Patrick, and Tasha. It was difficult because we were in a very small town. We went to about 10 different stores before we finally went to a Jo Ann's two hours away from our beach home.... It was a way long drive but by the end we all had knitting looms. It was also a lot of fun because Dan and Patrick are hilarious when they're together. We had a lot of good laughs.
Final day was spent knitting hats and then packing/cleaning before leaving for home. It was nice and relaxing fun. Then we took the long drive home. Oh we stopped at Multnomah falls and Voodoo donuts on our way home. Voodoo donuts has some AMAZING donuts, so if any of you go to Oregon stop there for sure. Multnomah was very pretty. Dan slept in the car while we briefly looked around. That's about it. Sorry for the brief recap...
Railroad that went over the river at Multnomah falls. I loved this sign:

Agate beach hunting at Hug Point I found this log and I thought it looked like a microbe:
