Friday was overcast when we got to the beach, but still comfortable. Our goal was to find a whole sand dollar, and after moving up the coast and beach combing for miles-we finally found one! In all, we found four whole ones, and many that were still alive that we put back in the water.
After getting ice cream at Colleen's, we went for a drive and ended up at the Eric Wiegardt Gallery. The host took us on a tour and even showed the girls his work space. Interesting to see how even professional painters are very messy! Then we bought some kettle corn and visited Jack's.
Back at the beach house, we had a fire pit dinner and settled in to watch Frozen, with the girls singing along to every song. Then we watched Free Guy.
Saturday we first headed to the Farmer's Market in Ilwaco, where the girls got to pet the many dogs that people had brought with them, Ava even saw a mini-Aussie, her dream dog. Then we went to FunLand, had lunch at Drop Anchor, did a little shopping and visited the bakery.
Then it was back to the beach in the sunshine.
We rode bikes in the evening and watched Uncharted, then went for a late night stroll around the neighborhood. Sunday we slept in, then sent the girls to Colleen's for ice cream while Papa and I closed up the house. On the way home we stopped at Starbucks in Astoria for the breakfast muffins that the girls love.
