For the first time ever I hosted a 4th of July Party.
I hope it's not the last.
I had a beautiful new deck built by Keith for my Mother's Day gift to enjoy.
My first attempt at the traditional donuts turned out wonderful.
Mom enjoyed bocce ball.
Wes felt "free" to do a little juggling with his bocce balls.
Paul put a little finesse on his throws.
Wes eventually got down to business.
And I just tried to stay in the game.
You can't beat the fun of badminton, even if it's too sunny to see the birdie and too windy to have accuracy. It's just fun to play.
As is demonstrated by me here.
Or watch from under your fancy umbrella.
The menu was chock full of Summer favorites!
After a great BBQ dinner with all the trimmings, it's nice to sit by a fire and take in the beauty of the evening.
Thanks for the fire Wes.
Mmm, s'mores.
Yum.
Time for watching fireworks in Anacortes. I think we could use a little more "brave" here. Uh Hem.
