Fourth of July

The Fourth of July is a great holiday to spend up here in Washington.  It's crazy how firework-crazy everyone gets up here!  We heard fireworks being set off well in to the night, all around us, it kind of sounds like a battle zone.  This year, our brother and sister-in-law and niece and nephew were here visiting which made it even more fun.  Richard and I set off our first big fireworks this year.  They were so loud, our niece Sophia didn't really know what to think of them.

Me, Randee and Marcie making 4th of July cakes for our BBQ.  They were so good!
