The Coltrins!!!!

My cousin, Tasha, and her husband, Cade, made the long drive from Idaho to come see us and boy were we thrilled!

They have 3 of the cutest kiddos: CJ (9), Payten (6), and Aspen (3). We wanted to make sure they had a good time so we tried to pack as much into the 4 1/2 days as we could. First was a visit to the Nike Employee store (thanks to Lark!) and then Pirate Park. 

 Next day we woke up and drove to Great Wolf Lodge! The kids were beyond ecstatic.

Bunk beds!

Our little wolves

Face painting and howling

These kids consumed more sugar here than in their whole life added together, it was insane!

 There is also an arcade there and Brian and Cade couldn't stay away. They figured out how to win Down the Clown and totaled around 5,000 tickets for the kids. Although, I'm not sure it was for the kids or for the husbands...they were obsessed.

Daddies win big for their kids!

Violet was there :) Reese loved CJ and he was so good to her

Payten and Bria, the best of friends

Lots of water fun!

All their goodies from Dad's big wins

 On the way home we stopped at Ikea because they had never been, and we just couldn't let them leave Oregon without experiencing Ikea.

Reese and Aspen were like twins, adorable and crazy rolled into one!

 We got home, slept and then woke up and headed to the beach. Because you can't come to Oregon and not go to the beach. Cannon Beach proved to be pretty great, weather started off a little chilly but warmed up nicely.

Tasha and me so happy to be together!

These two blondies are way too cute

A little Daddy love

So much squishyness!

Aspen, Payten, Bria, CJ, and Reese....cutest gang around 

The house was far too quiet and boring after they headed home, but fortunately we still have the wonderful memories and pictures to hold on to. The girls had an absolute blast while they were here and we are looking forward to our trip out there next year!
