Oregon Day 5

Last night after we put the kids to bed Austin and Zack started having croupy coughs that continued to get worse. Zack's turned in to an asthma attack and luckily I had brought our nebulizer with, but I unfortunately had forgot my stethoscope. So I couldn't tell after I gave him a breathing treatment if he was having a hard time breathing from the croup or if he was still wheezing. So we spent Monday morning talking to our pediatrician in Utah trying to figure out what to do and getting prescriptions for steroids and more Albuterol and then we got to figure out where pharmacies in Florence were and one that would fill the prescriptions since our pediatrician has a Utah license. The pharmacy in Florence didn't have any Albuterol so we had to have them transfer it up to Newport so we could pick it up that night; what a pain!

After getting all of that taken care of we headed to the Sea Lion Caves. They are the world's largest natural sea caves. Of course about 3 days before they had moved from inside the sea caves to about 100 yards away on some rocks which coincidentally were the sea lions we had seen the day before after leaving Heceta Beach. We decided to pay anyways hoping that the boys would be able to see them easier, but unfortunately the brown sea lions blend a little to well with the brown rock. It was still cool, I just wish they would have been able to see them easier.

This is where they usually are, it would be really cool to be there when they are in the caves because it's really close.
Then we headed up to Newport and went to the Yaquina Bay lighthouse. It was cool to see, but the whine factor was at an all time high from the boys not feeling good and the lack of sleep we had all had did not help matters. So it was a quick visit and then we headed to the hotel and put all of the boys down for naps.
So happy to be out of the car!
After naps we went to Nye Beach because the ocean makes everything better. Austin and Zack had fun playing in the sand and then we went and looked at the tide pools.

Then we ended our wonderful night with dinner at Georgie's Steakhouse. The best clam chowder ever!
