Tillamook Time! :)

Family, from WY, called to let us know they had arrived in OR, and invited us to join them for a day of fun-in-the-sun in Tillamook! We jumped at the chance to see them and to enjoy a couple of the neat things Tillamook has to offfer! We met at Tillamook Cheese Factory, a place I had never been to but had always wanted to see! :)

We enjoyed the self-guided tour of the cheese factory with cheese being assembled on one side, and ice-cream being made on the other! :) Tillamook cheese and ice-cream have long been my favorite, so it was a treat to be where they are both made! :)

It was fun to see our nephew, Timber, who's resently started to walk, taking steps! It was my first time seeing Timber in person, and he's every bit as sweet and cheerful as everyone has said! :)

It was equally fun to see Rud and his brother, Eric, enjoying being together again! :)

They were enjoying cheese curds that are sold at the factory! :)

They tried to settle down when they saw I had my camera going! :)

Timber was feeling playful too, enjoying a ride on his mommy, April's, shoulders, in the warm sun! :)

Next we headed to the Tillamook Air Museum! April's dad, and his sweet wife, were with us too, and it was enjoyable getting aquainted with them! :)

April's dad flew aircraft and knew alot about them! He ended up being a great tour guide! :)

This building was incredible in both size and design! Rud had Timber laughing as he kept sneeking up behind him and tickling him! :)

It was great to see them, and it felt sad when we had to part.

To give ourselves something to still look forward to - we took the scenic drive home, enjoying the sights of the beautiful Pacific Ocean! :) It was a great day, - one we will need to repeat again! :)
