Sam's parents and sister Raeleen and her cute family came to visit this weekend. We had some jobs scheduled over on the coast - in Florence, so we had rented a place to stay for the weekend and it worked out that his family got to come stay with us. His parents live down in Cali and his sister lives up in Washington now -- so it's always fun to get together and visit. My girls and her girls are close in age and love each other very much. It was a quick trip but we made the best of it.
The girls got really good at the art of chop sticks --- here they are eating cereal out of cups with their chop sticks. I think they look so cute. :)
We went to the beach -- we were so lucky that we had the perfect weather while we were there. Lots of playing in the sand happened.......
Some relaxing (Sam's mom).............
Some visiting (Sam's dad and sister)..............
Jackson throwing rocks -- pretty much the whole time............
Some exploring (bro-on-law Dan, with my niece Devyn and Addie following behind)........
Some loving.....................
Some hiking-- this is on the way up to see the lighthouse. Since Sam had to work -- they pitched in and helped me with my kids on our way up .......
half way up -- you can see the light house behind us.......
checking out the view at the top..........
made it!!
On our way back home we stop and took a little walk down to see the Devil's Churn in Yachats. It's always a cool place to go - but at the same time keeping the kids at a safe distance from the water. Sam was done working (obviously since this was on our way home) -- so at least he got to have some fun with us. Although -- the look on his face isn't exactly showing "fun" :)
and the girls just being themselves :) -- We love our cousins!!
Fun weekend -- hopefully we will have plenty more -- since Sam's sister is only 5 hours away now vs. 10 hours.

looks like a fun time! We never did make it to the coast before we left. We will have to make it a point when we come out in july!
i know this is going to sound very selfish but seeing those pictures instantly just makes me so jealous. i miss playing with you guys so much. im glad you had fun though. im all the more anxious for you to come now.
