We really had no concrete plans for our 4th this year besides knowing Daddy would be at the International Convention singing with his barbershop buddies and rooming with his Dad.
Charlie spent a few days at Sucia Island with Papa and Nana, as well as his cousins, while all the ladies played at home. The princesses met Chuckles at the dock slip after Papa did a fine job of docking with not much assistance. Once everything was secure, we walked around the harbor to the Web Locker for lunch consuming juicy burgers and greasy curly fries.
It was so worth the abundant calorie consumption and deliciousness.
Once back to the boat gate, we gathered the troops and headed north for a short ride to Ferndale visiting Star Park. This park is awesome. Baylee had fallen asleep so the one seat in the shade was all mine while the others exhausted themselves on the Ninja courses, swings and slides. Miss Bee woke up in time for a quick sibling swing which they all loved.
Nana needed a few things for breakfast the next morning so we used Fred Meyers as our excuse to stop at Menchies for some cool down treats. They never fail me. Creamy peanut butter, fresh strawberries and caramel goodness. Yum. Charlie's bowl looked like a rainbow exploded with overflowing cereal, gummies and fruit. Gross.
By this time, some kids were done for the day with heat, crowds and play. Addison and Charlie stayed with my parents sleeping on the boat after watching the fireworks sprawl across Bellingham Bay. The kids had fun exploring the harbor and just being goofy; a nice change from the opposite of sibling fighting. I, on the other hand, managed to have the night to myself with the sounds of booms, bangs and crazed dogs in the background.
An evening to binge watch on Parenthood and eat popcorn without having to share.
Happy Fourth of July.
