Took us a while to get the fire going, I tried to tell Ezra that when whenever my family wanted a fire we would just go get some gasoline and toilet paper and it worked great! Never had problem keeping those fires alive- But that was a No go on that idea. Anyways as you can see by the looks of our bonfire we had quite the party, maybe next year we can upgrade to a classier fire pit. Mr Turtle could be an option... 
Columbia River Again..Yes the good ol' stinky yet refreshing river. Ezra's oldest brother and family is in town so we of course we went water skiing, but the kids just wanted to play in the river! They loved it! They made sand castles out of plastic cups, covered their bodies in sand, threw rocks and filled their swimsuits with sand over and over! Hey who needs a boat and jet skis when you can have this!
With some coaxing we got the kids out of water onto the tube.
And I had to throw this picture in because this is what my daughter does all day long. Looks for buckles to buckle. She can't say very many words. But surprising she can say "Buckle". So she stayed pretty entertained buckling all the like jackets.
