Algodones Dunes: Special Edition Star Wars Photo Shoot


We still have a goal of making costumes for each family member. However, we took advantage of our existing Star Wars gear and did a photo shoot while at the dunes.

Note: In case any of you missed seeing Megan, she is indeed missing.

Independence Day 2012

Our day started bright and early putting up flags on people's lawns for the Scout's "Fly the Flag" project. It is a fundraiser that pays for all the scout camps and activities throughout the year.

Later on, we cooked a tasty barbecue over our fire pit.



We made a yummy applesauce cake but were not terribly creative with the frosting job.


Once it got dark, we played with sparklers!!!





Group Photo 


Everyone wanted to start a new tradition of swimming for the occasion.
That was followed by cake consumption.



We are indeed grateful for this wonderful country of ours.
Happy Birthday, America!
