July 4th in Bainbridge

We love to spend the 4th of July in Bainbridge. We don't have to go any farther than our lawn to have a great time and see a fantastic show!

This year we start off with s'mores...

Each year the family helplessly sits by and watches the boys create their own show. I believe one of these years we will undoubtedly be taking a trip to the ER.

But I will admit, this year was quite a show!


Of course we have sparklers for the kiddos!

Jack was undecided as to whether or not he enjoys the fireworks or not.

We love to take the boat out and see all the fireworks going off around the bay.

We had 2 very special people missing from our celebration this year, but we did get to see them on Skype!

Happy 4th of July!

CrabFest 2010!

Time to go crab fishin'!

JACKPOT!!!

Rian can already taste it!

FEAST!!!

Bainbridge 2010 Week 1

We stopped at a small motel in Fillmore to sleep on our first night of travel, then drove just a couple of hours to SLC on day 2. While there, we visited the BYU womens soccer facility and then headed over to Temple Square.

Who else but my son would fall into the fountain at Temple Square? He laid down on his tummy to splash his hands in the water and lost his balance. He was pretty freaked out and upset but it wasn't until Dave and I started taking pictures that he got REALLY mad!

The kids did so great on the trip. 2-1/2 days in the car and not one meltdown. The only fit from Jack came when we refused to buy him an icee at a late night convenience store potty stop.

We had an unexpected visitor this year. We lovingly named him RJ, after the lead raccoon in the movie "Over The Hedge". He wasn't at all scared of us and made several appearances.

We decided to take the kids on the ferry over to Seattle to get Fish-n-Chips at Ivars and do some souveneir shopping. It was a really fun afternoon for all of us.

Myself, Megan & Jacy on our way out to see Eclipse. Dave was the only man here at the time and he offered to stay with the kids while we went. Brownie points!


Our favorite playplace, BattlePoint Park, just one mile from the house.

This ends week one, but stay tuned for posts of our 4th of July celebration and CrabFest 2010!
