Our 4th

Our 4th was a blast this year. Our friends Shauna and A.J. and their girls came from Georgia to visit for 10 days. Their family owns a beautiful place right on the Hood Canal. We headed over on the afternoon of the 4th and met them there. We had a quick lunch, the kids got their suits on, the Dad's headed off to a sweaty game of paintball, the other Mom's went canoeing and I hung out in the sunshine watching the kids. Finn loved the pool! Every time I tried to take him away he'd crawl right back over. After everyone was done with their activities we had a BBQ and prepared for the fireworks show.





After it finally got dark at about 9:30 pm, the fire works started. They were beautiful and big and alot of them. Everyone enjoyed them but Sully. He hates the loud noise they make so he excused himself to the house and promptly went to sleep.
We then camped in the front yard in our new tent which went remarkably well. The kids didn't even get up until 8:30 am the next morning. We had a big breakfast and broke down camp and went home. All in all it was a success.

Glad it was so much fun for you guys. That Sully, what a guy. He misses all the pretty fireworks but for his ears sake luckily he's smart enough to go inside. Looks like the weather was beautiful and the swimming was a blast.
