4th of July Fun!

We had a great 4th of July. Creed's family came over and we went to LongBeach Washington and spent the night (Friday) in a great condo on the beach! So Saturday was spent on the beach just hanging out and having fun. Then we had a great dinner for Elizabeth's birthday and then Creed and our family came back to Battle Ground to hang out with my parents. Where we watched fireworks from their hotel window. What is really fun is that there are NO illegal fireworks in Washington, meaning anything goes and everything does! It was great! It was like watching a show put on by a city, but it was just our neighbors! I am so glad we were warned before hand that we wouldn't need to buy any fireworks, saved us a little money! Sunday was Madalynn's baby blessing. Creed blessed her with some amazing things one of which is a laugh that will bring joy to others. I am so excited for her to laugh! He also blessed her with a sense of humor, which is funny because he blessed Sarah with that. I wonder if that means we aren't very funny, or if they are going to have to try to find funny in a world that is not so funny. Then my parents had to go back to Boise, which was sad, but Creed and our family were able to go to Seaside with the Larsens, and we got to stay in another condo on the beach! I love the ocean! In Seaside Ali cut and hi-lighted my hair and she is amazing! I just told her a vague, really vague, idea of what I wanted and she made it happen. AMAZING! She is still in hair school, but man is she good! I loved spending time with everybody and loved being with family. It made me miss them terribly, but it also makes those times that we get to spend together even more precious. So here are some pictures of our fun! Enjoy!
