A Long Post For A Long Day!

Wednesday we loaded up the car and headed for Newport to take Ella to the Oregon Coast Aquarium. She had a blast! It was hard to get any good pictures of her because she was way too busy running from one thing to the next!
Ella watching the otters


This tank had the sealions and seals
(ella got sooo dirty playing in the mud here!)


Touching a star fish
I think she's feeling a sting ray here..
there was also a baby shark you could touch!
The newest exhibit is called "oddwaters" and they had some really odd looking fish...
You can barely see the fish sticking out around that big yellow thing
Ella and Joe in the fish tank looking out
This fish swam right up to the glass when Ella put her face up to it
Ella and Joe in the shark mouth
Showing off her new shirt..
it says Otterly Adorable! ha
After the Aquarium and a few hours of shopping the outlets we decided to go a bit further into Tillamook to visit the cheese factory..

Me and Ella
Eating Tillamook Ice cream
Posing by the giant ice cream buckets
Ella loved these cows!
She even gave the little one a kiss right on the mouth!
Ella watching the girl make fresh waffle cones
This is where they package the cheese, the windows were like tinted and the lighting was weird so I didn't get any good pictures, but it was pretty cool to watch!
On the way back to town we stopped in Depoe Bay where Joe and I went for our honeymoon. This is the place we stayed, the Channel House..we didn't have a camera when we got married so I took a picture on our way thru town
We also stopped to let Ella run on the beach for awhile
She was more then happy for a break from the car!
Our feet in the sand
Family Picture!

The End!
