July 4th, beach, Rattlesnake Ridge

A house caught fire on Mercer Island on July 4th. I was wondering if it was a fireworks accident, but the newspaper report said it was something smoldering in the attic. This is through the telescope.

At Newcastle Beach Park with Peter. He ended up eating a lot of sand - and we could tell in his diaper, the next day!
At the Chittenden locks. Eric and I actually biked here with the kids, though we didn't get any photos of us on the bikes. It was a harrowing ride - Eric thought there was a nice bike path to the locks, but it was mainly on roads.		Kenny and I slept outside on the deck for fun. It got pretty chilly!
