Happy 4th of July - Vashon Island

It is tradition for our family to spend the 4th of July at our cabin on Vashon. This year was a bit different than the past . . . Brian and Molly ended up heading to Sunriver with friends and my parents went to Bainbridge so it was the Kelsey/Bates crew on the island. Although the weather did not cooperate 100%, we had a great time. Sophia and Ella got their crabbing licenses this year so they spend lots of time setting and checking the crab pots with Fred and Eric. I think the final crab count was 12 (or maybe closer to 14) crab!!! Other than crabbing we spent lots of time on beach walks, walking around the point, playing games, throwing the ball for coho (he loves to swim), fishing (well Eric went fishing), reading magazines, resting and of course watching the fireworks from our deck where we can see the Vashon and Tacoma fireworks. Another great 4th of July on Vashon!!!
