Last weekend marked the 4th (I think) annual Padden Cousin's Weekend in Seaside, OR. Jen, Max and I drove down Friday night after work, stopping in Puyallup for dinner at the Scooner, a pub off the freeway. Small world- Max and Jen ran into a co-worker- RANDOM!!!
We were the only cousins to arrive Friday, so Saturday morning the three of us went on a morning run, and then headed to Canon Beach for a yummy breakfast at the Lazy Susan. The Portland/Vancouver cousins showed up around lunch time. We dug in to a brick of orange cheese, and sat out on the back porch in 75 degree weather!!
After burning the shite out of ourselves, we all went downtown for some Fascination and corn dogs. Man those 'couv cousins are GOOD at Fascination! We twirled around the Tilt-a-whirl, and ate caramel corn. We did it all!We wound down the afternoon with a walk on the beach. Margaret introduced the cousins to "jumping pictures" - our favorite past time.
We made dinner, and the the girls took another sunset walk, while the guys watched sports and hung out (so typical!).
Cousins weekend is always so easy. Everyone gets along, we eat cheese and walk. What's not to love? It was really great for Max to have everyone around to talk to about Anne. With all the craziness that has been going on the last 3 weeks, it was nice to just sit back with family and talk it out.I am so lucky to have such a great family!!
