4th of July 2019

The 4th of July is one of my favorite weekends on Vashon. All of the houses on Magnolia Beach are full and there are so many kids on the beach exploring. This year was even better because it was a really low tide so we were able to see starfish, dig for clams and walk in the mud. We also spent time out on the boat and went for a family hike (girls only).

The kids (and dads) went on their annual trek to the firework stand, thankfully they only sell safe and sane fireworks although they always come home with way too many! They started their show around 8pm lighting off at least a firework a minute - it seemed non-stop to Molly and I. Once the kids were done we sat on the deck cuddled in blankets and watched the official Vashon and Tacoma shows. As usual both shows were amazing!

These are the weekends I remember as a child and I hope Kallie will have the same fond memories when she grows up.
