4th of July


For the 4th of July we drove to Vancouver, Washington. The Stoddards invited us to come stay at her family's place and celebrate the 4th with them. We had a nice drive over other than the fact that Landon and Elliot did not want to sleep in the car at all.


There is a great view of Mount Hood for quite a bit of the drive.



The first evening we went to an area where Brooks and Jeremiah did a little cliff jumping. Landon was trying to get further and further in the water the whole time.

What is Daddy going to do next?







Brooks did not jump off this bridge, but other crazy people there did.





In the morning we went to a 4th of July breakfast and played in the grass for a while.



Thanks to Samantha and Jeremiah for inviting us!











Later that day, we went to the Saturday market and walked around. We bought fresh berries and lounged in whatever shade we could find. There was live music and Landon and Elliot found a beach ball with one of the groups names on it. They loved throwing that around. There were also plenty of sticks to play with at this park.




















Since it was such a warm day we found a water area at the park to splash around in.







That night we went to an outdoor ward party with them. We ate, played and then watched fireworks.
