Adam and Ori came down with their kids Thursday night and were here until Saturday evening. Caleb and Wesley were extremely exited to go see the ocean and we took off for the coast Friday morning. We knew Friday was going to be a hot day in Philomath and so we dressed in shorts and short sleeve shirts and didn't even think about bringing anything warm. Newport is only about 45 min. away but we were shocked when we got out of the car into a cold wind. I guess we should know better because I've never been to the Oregon coast when it's warm. However, I've also never been to the coast in the summer and I thought surely it would be warmer. Oh well, the kids seemed to have fun anyway. It was slightly miserable for Ori and I trying to keep babies warm and out of the wind so that sand wouldn't blow in their eyes.
Joseph dug holes with his hands and then stuck the boys in them
After playing at the beach for a little while, we went to the Oregon Coast Aquarium. Jelly fish are always one of my favorite things to watch in an aquarium so I took a picture.
We finished out the day with a hot dog roast in our fire pit and then we also did smores. Joseph set up a tent and slept in the backyard with the boys. What a great uncle!
Saturday, we all went to Salem and the boys and girls split up. The boys went to a tractor show and the girls went to a farm to pick blueberries and cherries.
Thanks for coming Adam and Ori!
Here are some more pictures of Kiley and Kilynn
Kilynn giving Kiley a "kiss." Kiley received many of them during her visit much to her dismay.

those little girls are so cute! they are getting so big. Man, I love family!
It's always fun to go to the beach. Kids love sand! those girls are going to have the best cousin times as they grow up! Sounds like it was a really fun weekend.
Hey--- I had no idea you had a blog until now. This will be nice to keep up with you. Sadie wants me to make sure I mention that the girls are cute. We haven't seen Kiley since she was blessed. They both are getting so big.
We are very impressed with Joseph's table. We might have to copy your pattern because we would like to get one made sometime.
When are you coming up here?
