On July 4th, following Mike's race, we drove back down to Washington for 4th of July celebrations. We found one last camp spot at Birch Bay. After getting settled in, we set out to get ourselves some fireworks! Mike and Braden waited in line at this portable shop and came away with a few full bags of fun!
On Birch Bay, everyone is allowed to set off their own fireworks along the water. As soon as it started getting dark, folks vied for a spot along the water to watch the display and add to it with their own fireworks.
The photos don't do justice to how amazing it was watching all the fireworks around the entire bay for hours on end. There are two families who live across the bay from each other who annually compete for who has the best show. Each one rivals a Disney fireworks display...we can only guess as to how much they spend on the fireworks each year!
Was a great celebration despite the drizzle.
On July 6 we decided to spend one last morning at the ocean before heading to Kelowna. Dekker had SO much fun running free on the sand!
Mid-morning we said our good-byes to the ocean, packed up and started our drive to Kelowna to spend some time with the cousins.
