{Fourth of July on the Lake}

My Brothers house is so awesome. It feels like you are seriously at a Vacation Cabin. It was wonderful. He has been living there for a few years now and I'm not sure if they ever want to leave. They live in Redmond, WA. 

The fourth was such a blast. We had good company, good eats and good entertainment.

Here's some pictures in random order.

 Wayne fixing the paddle boat so we can use it. He's so awesome at everything.

Having fun on the paddle boat. Thanks Adrian for supplying my kids with lifejackets. Rely on Adrian for safety.

The girls taking the canoe out.

Mason & Trenton taking it all in. Not for long though. Before you know it they will be all over the place. They most of been waiting for the all the formal pictures to be done.

Besides my sister looking smoking Hot in this picture doesn't these treats look amazing. and oh yes they are amazing just ask me I think I ate the whole tray.

Some flowers I bought for my SIL for suppling us this Standby tickets and saving our rental car. Seriously these were nothing compare to what she did for me.

Also they yummy food we ate. Check out those Drinks Kristie made too. She's so AWESOME!

Beats my lame corn on the cob that I provided.

The fun times out on the lake watching the fireworks. Okay so I have seen many firework shows in my lifetime, but I'm seriously thinking this was my favorite one yet!!!

All the houses on the lake were compete with each other who had the best show. thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars with 3 hours of fireworks were CRAZY AMAZING.

BEST SHOW EVER!

I failed to capture the excitement of the fireworks but here you can see three houses going off at once and too see their reflection off the lake stunning. Around the lake there were probably 8-10 houses going off at once. 

Seriously Insanely Crazy Awesome!

Of course there were smores to add to the already awesome day! We already had the cherry on top 5 events ago so I don't even know what to call this.

 BEST FOURTH OF JULY EVER!

{Snowqualmie Town Trains}

Next to the falls was a fun place where you can see some trains. 

No back to the Trains...

Here's a Fun pHoto my sister gave me that I touched up in PS.

Kind of fun!

 We're a fun bunch. Don'tcha think?

I smiled so big when I saw how excited Mason got. I don't know why this surprises me so much, but he's nothing like the girls. He loves his manly things. Just like today I was cleaning out the car, vacuuming and washing it and cleaning it and he was right next to me banning the mats on the trunks of the trees and everything, holding the vacuum and pushing it back and forth. He was a hoot to watch. 

{Snoqualmie Falls}

On the 4th of July we had a blast. We headed to my sisters Danell Ward Breakfast that my I say Holy cow they know how to party and feed people well. Then we all headed to Snoqualmie Falls minus Danell because she had to go home for some crazy reason then headed to the falls and got stuck in a major traffic jam--a parade, so --so sad she didn't make it to the falls : ( boo and so sad.

The falls were beautiful and quick and easy to get to. No major hike to them just maybe a 100 yards to the falls from the parking lot. There was a darling gift shop there too.

Here is the short walk to the falls. You walk over a Highway and you can read some signs along the way. 

Isn't my sister Kristie beautiful? 

I love her!

It was extremely misty. I feared for my camera and was very protected of it, but still I couldn't believe how wet we got.  Below is Addison starting to freeze. It was a beautiful 4th of July and was nice it hot, but the falls I will admit felt great at first but chilly after awhile.

Here is Kristie, Amy & Me. 

So much for curling my hair this day!

Amy was the only smart one wearing a hat to the falls.

 Below:Mason, Dixie, Kristie, MB & Kylee

Here's the whole bunch...via Kristies camera..Thanks Kris

{Klondike Gold Rush Museum}

While we were down in Seattle we visited the Gold Rush Museum because my Dad loves Gold. It was small and quiet and it was nice to slowing walk through it while the older kids worked hard for the Rancher Badges that they so proudly earned at the end of the museum.

Here are the girls filling out their passports.

Here's the Ranger filling in their names that they all completed the requirements to earn their badges.

 Great Job Kiddos

Afterwards we headed back to Danell's home where Kristie spoiled Mason with presents.

Mason was so funny. He had no clue what to do with a wrapped present. He just thought the box was the gift. What movie is that on? The one with the mermaid?  Oh yah....SPLASH. I haven't seen that movie for ages maybe it's time for me to find it somewhere and watch it again. 

Poor Kristie Wrapped the present and unwrapped it too! 

Thank you Aunt KiKi!

P.S. more are coming Oupa. I promise it will be your turn soon.
