Cannon Beach, Oregon

Last week, Emma and I had a little Kasparek girls trip to the beach with our good friends, the Warthens. Aimee's family has been spending summers on the Oregon Coast for over 30 years and we were lucky to be able to join them for a few days. The beach was gorgeous and reminded me of Maine (including the cool temps!) We had a fabulous time checking out all the sights around this neat beach town.

We took a wonderful little train ride along the coast. Here we are on the train with Lisa, Nora, Tammie, Claire, and Aimee.Emma ended up taking a nap on the return trip. Can you tell she's not in the mood to take a picture with Claire, Aimee, and me?My 2 favorite little train engineers! The following day, we headed to Tillamook, Oregon, home of the famous Tillamook Cheese! We toured the factory and had a great time watching them make cheese.Here are two goofy dairy farmers with the Tillamook cows! On our last day we explored Ecola State Park. Here are Claire and Emma with Cannon Beach in the background.What a great girls trip we had!!! Hopefully we can bring the guys with us next summer!

Emma and Claire had a great time running along the trail finding flowers.

The girls also put quite a few miles on their tricycles riding around the parking lot at the beach house and along the sidewalks of downtown Cannon Beach.
