Fourth of July 2016

Happy Birthday 'Merica! Another gathering at Camano Island, this time with a bit less sunny weather, a bit more adventuring (i.e. tenting in the backyard), a bit less boating (my poor Dad! the boat flipped its wig and got stuck going crazy in reverse out  in the water, flooding it almost completely before getting it back to shore - good things the kids were still on the dock), but many of the same awesome traditions kept alive: wagon rides down the hill, baseball in the yard, a hike for the brothers-in-law, 4th of July parade, millions of fireworks thanks to  Pyro Dad/Uncle Kyle, yummy food, beach exploration, gardening, and lots and lots of selfies.


The one sunny day - gorgeous!!
