Memorial day weekend in Lincoln City:

We spent a wonderful weekend at the beach house with Jen, Steven, Kaeden and Kai. They hadn't been there in almost 2 years and it was fun to take the boys to the beach. We went to Newport and did several things: Went to Ripley's believe it or not, the waxworks museum, the undersea gardens, went to the dock and watched the sea lions, went to Nye beach and played in the ocean, went to the Yaquina lighthouse and the tidepools there too. Then we met Mel and had dinner at the Sizzler.

We went to the beach in Lincoln City by the casino, and then to the beach at the Siletz Bay at Taft. Later that day we went back there and built a fire on the beach and roasted hot dogs and marshmallows.

It was just an awesome weekend and here are some pictures to share with everyone:

Visiting with Pam...

Pam and Scott were down for a couple of days. Tammy, Quintin, Peightin and I went over to visit Pam, Bobbi, Lexus and Bailee. It was fun to watch Bailee (9 months old) and Peightin (6 months old) interact with each other. Bailee sure glared at HER grandma when she was holding Peightin. They are the same age difference as Kaeden and Lexi and the same age difference as Kailer and Quintin, so it is fun to see them together. Strange to think that they are all 3 months apart in age. Jen's new little Kidlet won't have a cousin 3 months apart in age, unless someone is expecting that we are unaware of.

We had a nice visit, and Q and Lexi had fun burying "beads" in the sand and digging up "buried treasure".

Pam and I with our grandkids...of course you can't get everyone to look and smile at the same time:
