The 4th

We went camping at the coast for the 4th with Jim's family... Here are the boys under/inside a 500 year old Spruce tree.

It was Christina's 40th birthday--had to celebrate!

Jim putting together the complicated kite we've had forever and never flown. We thought the beach would be the perfect spot for flying it, but it ended up to be too windy.

Aunt Elaine explaining something to Reese and Grace--Reese can't remember what lesson she was teaching them...

Gabby and Reese building sand castles.

Carsten marching along...

Justin and some serious sand work...

The four little monkeys on a hike--on a bench in the stone fort...


Reese and Abigail were good little buddies the whole time.

Reese peeking out of a hole--in the next picture too--can you find him?


Aunt Alicia brought some crafty things for the kids to do--the painting was a smashing hit--especially with Reese and Abigail. They got into painting the fire wood, rocks, themselves (although some grown ups started that one!)...

The three pregnant campers!

Thanks for taking such great pictures. It was so much fun watching the kids playing together. Hope we can get them all together again really soon.

That looks like so much fun...playing in those trees and flying kites on the beach! What a child's dream! By the way, are you going to have anymore little ones? Yes, I am your nosey Nevada friend.:) Lots of love....
