July 4th Weekend

On Saturday July 3rd, we went boating at Yuba with my family. We had a great time. I had not been there in 9 years to the day almost. We celebrated on July 4th with my family at Yuba 9 years ago. There was a terrible micro burst that came through. There was a lot of lightening and we barely made it off the lake to a beach in time. It was really scary. This same quick storm that hit us was the same storm that killed our friend Dev Duke. He was working in a fundraiser firework booth when the micro burst picked up the firework shack and dropped it back down on top of him. I'll never forget that storm that day because of that terrible accident. Thankfully this time we had beautiful weather.

My brother Darren and some of the kids. Notice Alec - (the one on the right side in the blue tank top) he makes the most ridiculous facial expressions in every picture. I had to laugh when I downloaded these and found out just how many times he was in a picture - making some dorky face.

Apparently Jeff was not driving fast or crazy enough . They didn't seem too scared of falling off.

Brendan - Jens - Keyne

We drove across the lake to the other side away from most of the campers and found a nice sandy beachy spot for the day.
My little nephew Ethan just turned 1 year old last week. He could not get enough sand. He was completely content to sit and dig in the water and sand all day long. He also ate a ton of sand. My sister in law gave up trying to keep him from eating it after she had tried to stop him for a couple of hours.

My dad and step mom Nancy......and Alec in the background with one of his faces.

Little Miss Kaitlyn with Alec again!



Sunday we just BBQ'ed and let off fireworks with our neighbors Then on Monday we had a BBQ at Jeff's parents house and let off more fireworks. It was a great, long weekend!
