Ocean 4th

We snagged a camping spot at Ocean Shores for the Wed-Sat to spend the 4th there.

We were very lucky to find a family with 4 kids across from us, and one of them was turning 4 this month, so the same age as Sawyer.  He had SO much fun with his new friend Sean (Shaun? Shawn?)  The problem was that we still had a 1 year old that doesn't know boundaries. I so wish I had a leash for him because all he would do is take off running. :(

We spent a lot of time at the beach though, and both the kids loved it.  Sawyer suddenly became a water baby this last year, and Kellan just kept eating the sand.  Like, he wouldn't stop.  It was filled in his diaper and it wasn't coming in from the sides, if you know what I mean.

We got back to camp to find crows had eaten our chips...they hadn't even been opened yet!

Sawyer ate so well the whole trip!  Here he is eating salmon, which surprised me.

We had s'mores each night of course.

...and you can't go to the ocean without jumping pictures

Sawyer got a new transformers kite since his other ones were dollar store and broke right away.

We were so lucky to have my parents come on the morning of the 4th.  The kids love them and they helped out with the kids.

I got a new kite that day :)

On the night of the 4th we all hiked out to the dunes and set up chairs.  The weather was awesome and we were able to see non-stop fireworks up and down the beach, includeing the Quinnault casino's professional show.  It was awesome!

We were definitely ready to leave Saturday morning, and by the sound of it, we really beat bad traffic!

Here are a couple more fun photos that got a lot of love on facebook.  These are photoshopped obviously, haha.
