4th of July 2013 (continued)

 Little Audrey was having fun making noise on the way to the beach.  She was so funny entertaining us.
 We all enjoyed watching them make cheese at the Tillamook Cheese Factory.
 It was more fun to sample the cheese.
 And even more fun to have some Tillamook ice cream.
 They were only here 3 days and we spent the last day at the Rockaway Beach.  It was great and we had a fun time.
 It was perfect kite flying weather.
 Weston had fun with his kite in the sky.
 Benson in the sand.
 Allison in the sand.
 Everyone was having a good time.
 What's in the log?
 A beautiful view just off the coast.
 Two kites in the air at the same time.
 Having fun.
 Finding treasures in the sand.

 Playing at the edge of the ocean.

 Where's Benson?
 Allison didn't think it was very fun.
 But she was a good sport about it.  Look at Audrey keeping a safe distance by her mom.

  Weston again....
 Benson and Paisley
 Now it's Jason's turn
 Can he get out?
 He's smiling.....
 Casey's turn........
 Can he get out?
 Humdinger Burgers - yum!
 Playing on the sidewalk
Pretty butterfly....  This was the evening before they all left to go home.  I was so sad to see them leave.  It's never long enough.  I had so much fun.

Jason and Casey also put new lights on the front of my house and new hardware on my front door so that's really nice to have that done.  Spray painted my house numbers so they look new.  I'm so grateful for my kids.  They are the best and we made so many wonderful memories!  I'm so glad they made that long drive from California so we could spend the 4th of July weekend together!  I had a fun time!

4th of July 2013 (continued)

 I just love having family pictures of my children so I was thrilled to take this picture of Casey and Jenna with their children.  It is a great picture and they look wonderful.
 Spencer was so adorable - he wanted in the picture also so we took some with him in them too!  Look how happy he is!
 Ashley was awesome to plan some 4th of July festive treats for us.  This drink was yummy and the trifle below was delicious!  I enjoyed the leftovers for days after everyone went home.
 Weston and Benson above.
 Spencer was so tired.
 Fireworks......
 Everyone had a great time with the fireworks....
 We had quite the show......
 It went on and one.....
 I did take some videos also.
 The kids had a great time.
 I spent $100 and Jason chipped in about $70.
 It was a late night.
 The kids didn't seem to care.
 Fireworks were behind us, besides us, and all around us.
 It was a really fun time!
 It was sad when it was over......
The next day we had a little treat of ice cream..........
