4th of July Weekend

I hope you all had a great weekend! We did, but we are still trying to recover. It was just way too much fun. We left our house on Thursday afternoon to go see our friends in Anacortes, Washington. On Friday we got on the ferry to the San Juan Islands. The island we visited was Orcas Island. Have any of you been up there? It was just beautiful. We had a good time driving around and seeing the view. It was incredible. We didn’t see any whales, but a dolphin popped his head up to check us out. Friday night we stayed up late to catch shrimp. We headed down to the boat docks loaded up with nets and flash lights. The kids had so much fun shining the lights along the water and looking for shrimp. Saturday we went to a really fun parade in the downtown of Anacortes. We did some shopping, and then went over to go on our friend’s boat for some tubing and crabbing. Mark and Matthew had to jump off of the boat of course :) The fireworks that night were really pretty, they put a big barge out in the harbor and shoot them off, the house our friends have overlooks the harbor, so we had a good view. This is why I love the 4th of July! It’s always such a great day.

I promised pictures of Shores of Hawk Run Hollow. I finished that big ship! It is looking so pretty. I enjoy this one. Now to stitch a dolphin, anchor and compass. Well, back to reality. Curren has cub scout day camp all week, and we have more family coming next week. The fun continues at our house! Thank you all for visiting my little blog, it means a lot to me. See you again soon.
