Newport

On Saturday afternoon we went to the aquarium in Newport.  The kids had a great time looking at all of the fish and ocean animals.  They were also able to touch a few animals as you can see.  They had a great time.

The shark tunnel was a favorite.

They also loved watching the seals swimming.

We also went over to the Hatfield Marine Science Center.

On our drive back to Lincoln City from Newport,  We stopped at the Yaquina Head lighthouse.  Brandy and Colton went in and climbed the 90+ steps to the top.  Austin wasn't tall enough.  I think that you have to be at least 42 inches tall or the park service won't let you make the trek to the top. 

Lincoln City

Last weekend, we went to Lincoln City for a Teamster meeting.  We stayed at The Inn at Spanish Head as that was where the event was at.  Brandy and the kids were on their own to explore the beach and town while I took part in the union activities.

Lincoln City was having a kite festival that weekend.

Colton, Austin, and I flew their Dumbo kite Saturday afternoon.
