The Fourth on Orcas



 So we all know that it takes me awhile to get some of our blog posts updated... this one i think takes the cake though. Our wonderful 4th of July Vacation get away to the beautiful Orcas Island in the San Juans.  It is going through the 300+ pictures that I took over those 6 days that proves to be the biggest issue.

I will summarize the trip and then add a few of the best of the best pictures (this was really hard)

Greg and I rented a great house on the south beach of Orcas and had some of our greatest friends come up throughout the weekend and play on the beach, head to town, watch the parade, go out on the boat, etc.

Thanks to Jake and crew, Natalie and Nick, Jeanette, Dan and crew, Wendy and my Mom and Dexter, for spending a great weekend AT THE BEACH!

One of the most special parts of the trip was when our beach neighbors lit off the wish lanterns, it was pretty special to see Hailey's eyes light up when she saw the "tangled" lanterns. Can't wait to set these off on her birthday!



 Hailey and Clementine - best of buds!
Beach walk, sleep over, hot tub time




Tide pools and barnacles do not mix with crocs

Yes, the deer did come that close and he enjoyed the apples, carrots and broccoli.

Greg and his blender, er, egg beater
  
The house had the best set of cards...

The Fourth of July parade
My 4th of July treat - layered blue and red jello jigglers with star marshmallows in the middle


  
Sometimes we don't care, sometimes we are proud, and sometimes we really care!
We love our sea creatures!

me and a couple of sea stars 


Playing games - just the two of us  

Just a random cute picture of Hailey and a bear that she asked me to take


Some fun family shots on the beach

Hailey and Noah getting in some spa time - they found how how much fun a hose in a hot tub is

Roxy cuddled up with "Ba"

 Girl just wanna have fun!

And yes, the boys did too - if they are not careful, I will post the bad pics ;)

One of my favorite sweet shots - eating a cupcake from a bake sale in town



My little boater - "Matalie" was teaching her how to row a boat 


Some fun camp fire shots 



Greg passed out in the truck with his "lovey" pillow
The end of our wonderful trip!
