Couldn't miss Merwin in this great weather, so went down on Fri. just for the day...which basically meant Pre-Func @ Lk Merwin then held official 4th festivities @ Fort Moore this year. That way we could still play with Shaws but return north to bond with Chris' side o' fam for actual holiday. We'd had so much fun playing @ cabin & going to Ft. Vancouver in past that I'd forgotten we'd spent 5 consecutive yrs with my side-oops! 
After Chris & my am exercise on 7/4 with bball & road run respectively, we cont tradition of going out to breakfast (ironically started due to lack of cooperation from weather in past years so might as well while waiting for the sun to come out en route:) Anyway, ended up @ Black Diamond Bakery 'cuz kinda on way to Covington. (Once again I owe credit to friend for referral on her blog). Not sure if most amazing meal ever, but Huey seemed to like a taste of everyone's & managed to down a whole bowl of oatmeal (never thought we'd be paying for his own meal @ 9 mos!!) himself not to mention the peaches & muffins they brought out as appetizer for boys-gotta love a restaurant like that! Also had gorgeous view of Mt. Rainier & quaint setting since opened in 1902?!
Found out we could still party @ Moores even though not quite same as their Olympia yard...Luke got to meet Chris' cousin's son who shares the same name but 6 yrs older & lives in AZ:)
Played hard
& ate well...dessert spread looked like Thanksgiving instead?!
Bring on the fireworks! I'm grateful Chris doesn't totally splurge on explosives, but we had plenty between his & Rich's inventory... 
Speaking of other holidays, Dane looked like Santa covered from head to foot in ashes & soot by the time the night was o'er; never knew he was such a pyro?! Cole was a little more reserved but definitely enjoyed the festivities more once it cooled down=true WA boy!
WOW...I really just threw up in my mouth a little...
