Weekend in Lincoln City

Last weekend we spent some time in Lincoln City with Jeff's side of the family. It was really fun to spend so much time together and let the kids play. Friday was a little rainy in the morning, so we went to the aquarium in Newport.
Even Kiera enjoyed watching the fish.
She's always such a happy girl - which is especially great on trips!

Beans and cousin Hayden looking at the seals.The 4 cousins - of course its impossible to get everyone looking at the camera and smiling at the same time....oh, well - they're still cute!
The kids had a good time playing together. We brought some toys from home, so they ran around inside the rental having a good time. Jimmy especially loved Janae and wanted to follow her around. Janae wasn't so sure about that.

Kiera with the ride-on toy. She loved this, but hardly got a chance to play with it - Janae and Jimmy kept dominating it.


On Saturday we went the the outlet malls - surprisingly, I had never been there before! I loved it, and am looking forward to going there again. I got some good deals and did pretty well at not going completely crazy. I did limit myself, which I am really proud of. I don't know if I'll be able to say that next time though....... We did get to spend some time down on the beach on Saturday. It was beautiful weather, but of course it was windy down by the water. The kids didn't care - they enjoyed it while they could.

You can tell from J's face that it was bright and windy!Dig, dig, dig, dig....

Looks like you had a great trip. I did that same trip when my friend was here and we loved it. Even with the wind on the beach as long as the sun is out you can have so much fun.

Looks like a great weekend. My zoo crew LOVES the touching tank at the aquarium. I have to PULL them away when it is time to move on.
