On the Fourth, we went to the parade which was significantly larger than I thought it would be, and we didn't even see the end of it because someone really had to go potty! You'll notice our super festive shirts created by Stirling and myself- we even convinced my dad to wear one! Then we enjoyed a nice warm day in the yard, rode bikes and set off a few fireworks in the driveway for the boys. What was really surprising to me was the amount of large scale fireworks that people in the area were setting off. We were able to see quite a few from the yard. I couldn't get over how many there were!
The rest of our visit was enjoyed picking raspberries in the yard, riding bikes (even Logan got in on the bike riding action with his very own new teeny tiny bike!), shopping, and going to the beach. At Deception Pass State Park we walked on the beach, looked at rocks and searched for shells. After a picnic lunch, we went wading in Cranberry Lake. I hadn't realized there was such a nice area for swimming there and am thinking about going back to camp or stay longer next summer. We ate well while we were on vacation- shame on you Dad- and just had a relaxing time hanging out. Thanks for the nice visit!
I love the boys doing the 'high five' on the sofa. They really will be best buds at times.
