Independence Day 2012

 My sister Laura posted this craft on Pintrest so for ladies craft night last month, a couple of us got together to make it! I love the way it turned out!  

 We were planning on going up to Priest Lake to my parents cabin for the 4th, but some people decided that wasn't a good idea! So Jared the kids & I went to Kennewick instead.  DeAnne & Justin were so kind to let us crash their BBQ with friends.

I made a strawberry tart for dessert.

I had I no idea that Sienna had made this face, but it made me laugh when I saw it on the camera.   
 Take 2!

 I see where Sienna gets her face's from! Daughter like Father

 We went down by the Columbia River to watch fireworks.

 The kids started throwing rocks to past the time

 We waited forever the fireworks to start and the mosquitoes were biting us like crazy.

 I tried to cover up so the mosquitoes would stop biting me! 

 Finally around 10pm the fireworks that we were waiting for started. It was a little disappointing  because they were so faraway, but I didn't really care because I was  way too tired to really enjoy them anyways.

The night wasn't a total lose, there was a beautiful sunset and we could see fireworks all over the Tri-Cities from where we were, and the moon was pretty amazing too!
