Kylee's Family Reunion, day 3

On the third day, we woke up and then went for a walk around the neighborhood. We loved the beautiful plants, the fun company and the great berries we ate (salmon berries and huckleberries).Caden's cousins were picking flowers and instead of just picking the flower, he picked the whole plant! It was so funny!
Then, after all the kids insisting on going to Bruce's, we went to downtown Cannon Beach (a small main street with a variety of small shops). The fun thing is that most of the shops haven't changed much since we first went there almost 20 years ago. Our favorite shops were the Mariner's Market (we would stop there first to buy a Clearly Canadian soda), the shell shop, the kite stores, the infamous Pizza 'A Fetta (best pizza ever!!), and the much anticipated Bruce's Candy Kitchen. That is where we spent most of our money! :)

At Bruce's Candy Kitchen, you can watch them make salt water taffy. It is always a highlight of going there, and of course you have to buy some taffy to take home!
Then, we stopped at the infamous shell shop. I taught Caden and his class in preschool about how you can hear the ocean in some shells, so now he tries to hear the ocean in every shell he sees.
We stopped by the fun toy shop. Caden started making his Christmas wish list.
Caden had been asking all his cousins, ever since we got there, if they wanted to play Red Rover. We finally got a group together. After a few mistaken clothes-lining incidents, we all played a lot softer. Oops!
That afternoon, we made the normal trip to Tillamook Cheese Factory. You can watch them make cheese in the factory, sample all sorts of cheeses (especially squeaky cheese/cheese curd) and then enjoy some delicious ice cream!
On the drive back to Cannon Beach, there is a beautiful overlook. We got a picture there 3 years ago when we came and had to take another one this time!
