Happy Happy 4th!

Well the 4th of July has come and gone. We camped at Pilcher creek for a few days. We were going to go to Beaver Meadows, but the girls wanted to see the fireworks in Haines, so we stayed closer to home. My new camera has a setting for fireworks so I included a few pictures taken at Haines.

The kids had lots of fireworks to light before the big show. Dallas is no longer afraid of fireworks and Emma informed me she was 5 now and wasn't afraid either. All was well until we started to light them. She decided she might have to be 6 before she wasn't afraid. She watched from the car.

The Fillebrowns camped with us for a couple days. We enjoyed hanging with them and by the way they have two awesome kids; Charles and Jasmine are quite fun to camp with. They are on the swim team with Dallas too.

Charlie and Daphne waiting for the big ones to go off.

I got a picture of Greg and the girls before Emma high tailed it to the car.


Our camp!

Dallas and Emma decided they were big enough to sleep by themselves in a tent instead of the trailer. They gave it a try and loved it. Greg and I loved it too, because we didn't have to make the table into a bed every night, then back to a table in the morning. Our dog Sadie, a Golden Retriever slept in the tent too.

Greg's friend was camped up there and had a paddle boat. Greg showed the kids how to steer it, then he bailed out and let them try it themselves.

This was the view from the kitchen window in the trailer. We live in a beautiful part of the world and are very blessed by the beauty of God's creation!
