4th of July

This year Paul's parents held a huge party for the 4th. I think we counted somewhere around 55 people. It was really neat because a lot of his cousins came from Utah that we haven't seen in a very long time. We spent two nights up there. The was an amazing amount of food and it was delicious. Cousins Tim and Deanna brought their really nice boat and the guys were catching lots of crab. At night we all headed across the street to the beach in Oak Bay and all the houses/parties were doing fireworks and having bon fires. I have never seen such beautiful and HUGE fireworks like it - that weren't for a city's celebration. It was an awesome celebration for the USA and for our families.

This was the cutest tent that the neighbors let us borrow for the kids. It was the first time the kids have ever slept in a tent.
