Our 4th of July

We had a wonderful 4th of July this last weekend! Victor worked really, really hard to get the boat up and running so we could take our family and friends out. We took both sides of the family out for the amazing air show at the Freedom Fair in Tacoma. There were jets, this amazing trick pilot (he killled his engine a few times and free fell! it was crazy!), a huge B17 and even a harrier jet! Unfortunately, it was like 90 degress out with NO breeze, so we were all baking in the heat. Ian was really cranky because it was past nap time and the heat, but he fell asleep in the cabin with me for about half an hour. When the show was over we took the family back and Grandma and Grandpa Whittaker took Ian overnight! Then we ended up taking a few friends out for the fireworks show. Oh yeah, Victor had some "special explosives" he blew up out in the bay as well... After that, Victor and I stayed overnight on the boat. All in all, it was a great 4th of July. I am so happy to live in America and celebrate such an important holiday in our Nation's histroy!
