Visiting with relatives

This past week we loaded up the sub and headed to Oregon. Unfotunately we aren't going to be able to attend the Ward family reunion due to Rob's knee surgery, so the kiddos and I went down for a few days. The weather was very hot(105) and very humid. On the day we arrived we went to the local aquatic center to cool off for a bit.

The next day we went to Beverly beach with Nana,Grandpa, Aunt Meri and Dan &Tiff with their kids to camp for a night. We stopped at Gleneden beach to eat lunch and play for a bit.

Later we set up camp. After dinner, Lexi organized a "variety show". NAna told us one of

her stories, Uncle Jake (who arrived a little later) did magic tricks,

Cody made silly faces and pretended to go fishing,

Aunt Meri did an ethnic dance, Emily gave us her version of Goldie Locks, Jessi told jokes, and

Aunt Tif with the help of Jessi, Kaylei, Emily and Kyra did an interprative dance. Tif,Jessi and KK were the waves. Emily was a starfish and Kyra was an octopus. Here are some pics of the rest of the camping trip.
