4th of July Family Time




After we got back from our cruise we had a great week with most of the family.
Cheryl and Josh and kids came down for a visit and Allisha, Rich and Skyler came over too.
We had breakfast at the L.B.A. park with the Eld Inlet Ward. It was all dutch oven dishes, with fruit, and muffins too. Bob made potatoes, cinnamon strudel, and carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, there were also scones, eggs & bacon, and ham. We played a few games at the park and then headed home. After relaxing for a couple of hours and letting the kids nap we headed for Fry Cove Park to take a group picture and then home to play in the kids pool but the water was too cold for the little ones so that ended the afternoon together. Cheryl and Josh had to head back to the Martinsen's for their family activities and the rest of us had a BBQ before everyone headed off to the fireworks and Grandpa and Grandma had a quiet evening at home.

Sunday Cheryl and Josh came to church with us and we all got together for dinner and games afterwards. Carrie Stanton and her kids came over and we all had a great afternoon of relaxation.

Early Monday morning I drove Bob to the airport for Washington D.C. and then home to pick up Chris, and we followed Josh, Cheryl, Noah and Hannah to Point Difiance Zoo for the morning. After a great time seeing all the animals and eating lunch at McDonald's we said our goodbyes and the Martinsens headed back to Bellingham and Chris and I headed back to Olympia. What a great weekend with the family.
