We feel so blessed to live in this country. We are thankful to those who helped establish a country where we are free. We are thankful to those who have fought and are fighting to defend freedom. We truly are blessed! Happy Independence Day!
We love to spend time with family on the 4th. Usually the weather doesn’t cooperate on the 4th in Oregon, but this year was an exception. The weather was perfect. So, it was time to play in the water.
Lauren is our little dare devil. You can see her giving the the thumbs up sign which means speed up!
It wouldn’t be an outing with Papa if something didn’t go wrong. Here we are being towed in because we ran out of gas.
Ava fell asleep on the boat. This is a tradition for all of our kids. They all slept on the boat when they were little.
Celebrating the 4th involves good food. Here we have homemade root beer brewing.
Can’t go wrong with Mere manning the grill.
Linda always prepares a spread to rival any other celebration.
I think Mere is asking me if anything is in her teeth!?!
Steph is the family photographer. Her great pics are found on her Town Hall Blog.
Alice is pretending to hold a “boom box”. Not sure where she learned that, but that is what we love about Alice…..she is funny!
I love that pic of Mere's teeth. Ya know, she's really good that way. She is a true friend who will always tell you if you have food in your teeth. Love her.
