That thing we did…you know…that one time?

In July we took a trip to the Oregon Coast… yes, another one. We just can’t stay away. We went to see the tufted puffin. I have, since I was little, had an inexplicable love of puffins. And I wanted to see some in person.  Here is a picture we did not take but stole from the interwebs to show you how cute they are. But we did eventually get to see some with our own eyes.

The tide at Haystack rock was way out when we got there in the evening. We got to wander around in the tide pools a little bit. We found these two hermit crabs within a hands width of each other. The guy on the left did not get the memo about how he is supposed to get a new shell when his gets too small. We picked up the guy in the right to show him how roomy and comfortable upgrading is, but he just tried harder (and more pathetically) to crawl deeper into his shell. This is how far he got.

The sunset on the Needles was pretty. We felt cool because we were taking pictures of the same thing the guys with giant, fancy-pants cameras were taking pictures of.
