July

July was AWESOME!!  We enjoyed the 4th together as a family.  Doing our usual 4th things. Parade, barbecue, playing in water and fireworks. The Monday after we headed out for our summer family trip.  We rented an RV and went to Crater Lake and the Redwoods.  On the way back we drove up the Oregon coast and played at the beach.  Tyler had a rain gutter regatta for scouts that both he and Brandon built boats for.  Tyler came in second place! The kids and I were off to Washington after that.  We spent time with family at the beach, camping, fishing and eating good food!!

This one makes me laugh and laugh
