Coast with a Cousin

We met up with Gabe's cousin, Ryan, who was just coming off of the Wonderland Trail on Mount Rainier.  He drove down the Oregon coast and met up with us in Newport.  Our ever-generous friends, Cindy and Bob, hosted all of us at their house and fed us wonderful meals.

 Bob had balloons for the kids and they all got rowdy.

Gabe blew up the balloons under the kids' shirts, which made them look like they had massive pot bellies. They thought this was terrific fun, especially when they jumped up and down and jiggled.

Cindy and Bob found a monkey suit for Arthur. It just fits now and might still fit at halloween!

 

 Bob made two chickens on his grill rotisserie. really good!

 Ryan and Gabe, cousins.

 Navelle is playing in the water and sand. Way off behind her you can see a few spots of blue, which are Gabe, Ryan, and Arthur.

Here they are, coming back!
