The first night most of us relaxed and then went to bed. Kendall was a bit too excited though and went to the beach alone in the pitch dark, where the sea swallowed his eyeglasses and made him crawl the three blocks back to the house blind as a bat.
The next morning, after Kendall explained why he was wearing prescription sunglasses indoors and we'd all laughed a bit, the majority of us went to take our chances with the sea. The Oregon coast was in fine form (overcast and windy) providing the perfect conditions for kite flying. There were some beauties up that day, but most excitingly for me, mine successfully flew for the first time in two years since I bought it. After tiring of the beach, we went into town and enjoyed the car show and had some coffee.
In the evening, after watching Ninja Warrior, we all cozied up and watched "Enchanted", a surprisingly entertaining flick about a cartoon princess that enters the real world. Think "Who framed Rodger Rabbit" with all the plot devices running in reverse and with a good extra helping of sweet innocense thrown in.
The final morning was primarily an excercise in cleaning and packing . We all hopped in our various vehicles and exited as quickly as we had arrived and a bit too soon.
Since Cousins Weekend, at least one cousin has left the area, so who knows when we'll all be able to get together again. It was a great opportunity that I'm sure we're all glad was taken. Maybe if we're lucky, the next Cousins Weekend won't be more than a year away.

Amy's wedding was almost the first time in a couple of decades that all the Gino cousins had been together in one place at the same time (we were still missing one, but 5/6 ain't bad). It's weird to me that Amy & I are the only ones without blue eyes.
Glad you had a fun weekend :) Ninja Warrior is tremendously entertaining.
