Spring Break part 2!

We did see some blue sky on occasion at the beach!

Don't be fooled though, it was still pretty chilly. This picture was taken about 1 minute before Eli fell into the water off the "cliff". Brr!

Kids love sand.

Anna was pretty good with Elise for the most part. She did try to grab her eyelashes one time, but other than that I think they got along okay.

She is so cute!

On Friday we came back from the coast and Jeremy came home that day! Woohoo! That afternoon we went to the Portland Children's Museum and then we went out to dinner. Eli and Russell really enjoyed the water area at the museum. Seth came in eventually too and set up a cool path for the boats.

Brenna and Connor molding their clay.

On Saturday we were hoping to go hiking at a nearby state park, but it was pretty rainy all day, so we went to an indoor play place in the morning and then that evening the girls went to the General Women's Meeting and left the boys to make dinner and feed the masses. It was fun to go to the meeting with my sister and niece (2 nieces actually - Elise came too)! Amy got a picture but I didn't, darn.

That night, Rob did some more work on Jeremy's tooth...in our family room. He had to scrape his gums away a little bit to take an impression for the implant. You're the man, Rob!

Sunday we went to church and they got packed up to leave. Boooo. I love this picture of Sydney and Connor (and naked Anna in the background, hehe). Sydney came out in her church dress and hair done that morning and Connor said, "Sydney looks really pretty". I had so many people at church tell me how much they look alike. I agree. Cousin twins! And thankfully they also got along really well this time.

I happened to have almost all the Little House on the Prairie books from the library, so that's what Brenna was busy doing all weekend!

I had to get a picture of this - Amy and Rob summoned all their kids in so they could give them packing instructions. I love it - and all their facial expressions.

For cute!

Bedtime story their last night.

We had such a great time! The kids played great together and our house slept 13 people quite well I think! It was a success. Thanks for coming to visit us!
