Washington!

Our 1st stop when we roll in is always to Pine Lake with a race to see who can touch it first!

We made it to our happy place - Washington! With both of our busy schedules this summer the only week that was open was over the 4th. But the Balls were nice enough not to bat an eye and welcomed us in. We had a marvelous time and can't wait for next year when the missionaries are back!

The Balls ward always has a July 4th breakfast at Beaver Park

There was a serious game of wiffle ball going on.

The Balls always have a big party in their yard to watch fireworks since their backyard is next to where the city lights all the fireworks. Prime viewing place. It was awesome. Toby went down to ground zero to watch them light them up. Super cool.

The kids all climb up on the roof to watch

Sunset swimming is the best

Sam & Henry loved hanging out in the boat compartment

Din Tai Fung was delicious and worth it as always. Landon ate 23 dumplings!

Ethan's bear greeted us when we walked in
