Colleens sisters Jenny and Katie and their families all came to Oregon for the 4th of July. That makes for 8 kids ages 6 and under! We managed to get one group picture with everyone in it including Great Grandma Gertrude. However, Henry would not come out of the restaurant.
For the weekend we all headed to the beach. Grandma rented an extra house to fit everyone. Manzanita had a really cool parade on the 4th. Joan and Brian helped carry a giant American flag along the route and had to learn some pretty intensive choreography. The kids had fun picking up tons of candy.
The weekend was kinda rainy. Well really rainy which is tough with 8 kids and not much to do so we headed to Seaside which has all the rainy day "attractions". The highlight of the trip was the aquarium. One of the main exhibits at the aquarium is Victor. He is a 28 lbs lobster saved from the boiling pot and donated to the aquarium by the local grocery store 20 years ago. He died in an attempted abduction in 1994. RIP Victor. Not quite the Georgia Aquarium but...
Back at the house we had some family time.
