We spent the 4th back in Lake Stevens, WA with Dan's mom and dad. The weather was beautiful and it was great to stay in one place for the entire day. We played a lot of this in the front yard...



I had no idea Bocce Ball was so much fun. Beware if you play Dan's dad... he's pretty darn good. Carter was a little confused by the fact that we wouldn't let him touch any of the balls... but he still had a lot of fun playing in Papa's car.

He spent many of our Washington hours sitting in the car. Here he is taking a snack break.

The beautiful Washington sky.

Taking an oyster break...

Carter took a taste and spit it right back out.

That night we had an amazing view of fireworks from every window in the house... it was fun to be able to sit on the couch and watch them out the back window.
