Oregon Trip 9 of 9: 2nd time in Yaquina Head Lighthouse- Tour!

 This is another light house. This one is a lot smaller and it truly a house with a light on top of it.
The sun was in Arlee's eyes, but hey I think she still looks cute. ; )

 Abbie and Arlee were running to and from the water with their shoes on. Well I felt like Arlee needed the whole experience. She loved it when we were on the Washington Coast up north and I knew that she would love it again. Abbie and Arlee took off their shoes and socks and off they went. It wasn't too long before I was joining in on the fun too. Hans and Matt were party-poopers and just watched from the sidelines. Lydia was attached to me.

 After about and half hour to and hour we decided that we better get going. We still wanted to go to the Yaquina Head Lighthouse. (it was closed before.)

Hans, Arlee, Lydia and Me standing in our heart.

 After this picture was taken. Arlee had to go wash off her feet and hands again. While she was washing them off a wave came and scared her. She started running away before looking where she was going and face planted in the wave that was coming after her. Needless to say Hans was no longer a party-pooper. He ran and grabbed her with his shoes on and his pants not rolled up. Hahaha. Someone should have been watching her. Hans carried her all the way back up the hill and into the bathrooms to wash her off in there then to the car where she could get warm.

 After the beach we went back to the first lighthouse are took a tour. The night before it was closed. Arlee wasn't able to go up so we took turns staying with the girls.

This picture is off the tanks where they would put the pig lard and heat it up. That is a lot of lard. The opposite wall had them too.

Hans at the top stair. They wouldn't let you go all the way up, because the top part was about a million dollars back when this was built. It was made in France and shipped over. It took 4 years from start to finish in it journey. Now it is worth a lot more as you could imagine.

 The view from the top.

 Glass was inserted in the floor to give more light during the night for the tower.

 This is the tallest lighthouse in Oregon.

 We found some seals!

 The four of us.

A guy was nice enough to take a group picture of us.

Until next time!
