Alexa & Lillian... at the Beach

It was such a beautiful day today at the Manzanita Beach. 

Alexa and Lillian are standing in front of the Pacific Ocean and the Neahkahnie Cliffs.

Neahkahnie (pronounced Knee Aaah Kaah Knee.) means "place of god".  
The Nehalem Indians named the mountain after their supreme god Ekahni. 

At certain times of the year....
        we go to the top of the Neahkahnie Cliffs to watch the WHALES pass by.

                         Alexa and Lillian dug in the sand, played in the sand dunes 
                                                and found some sand dollars!  
                                They will bring their sand dollars home with them.  

                                        It was a little windy today at the beach... 
                              a big gust of wind came up and Alexa ran away!!!
                  I mean flew away with the wind---but Lillian and Anne caught her! 






                People love to parasurf at our beach.








             Lots of fisherman, 
                 dairy farmers 
                   and loggers
          live here in Nehalem.
