Our Happy 4th Celebration

We got to celebrate the 4th at our home and Alexis's parents and sister were able to celebrate with us too!  We had fun playing on the hot day, with no air conditioning, wear fun festive red/white/blue clothes, watch fireworks, and eat good food.

Here are the kids sitting...very hard to get all 3 to look at the camera.  Fischer is singing for us!  His version of the national anthem.

The 3 Kids: Anja smiling at Fischer....and Carter is trying to put his arm around Fischer nicely...but I don't think Fischer liked it so much.

Yes, we did it...squeezed all of us in one picture...while Clinton holds the camera.

Wow!  Nothing beats great Oregon fireworks...  :)

Carter watching those great Oregon fireworks!

Fischer and Carter: Fischer loves to pose in pictures!...look at that fancy footwork!

Oh and ...

HAPPY 4th of JULY!!!!
We love to celebrate America's Birthday!

What...Oregon Humid!?!?

When we were asked if Oregon was humid, of course my response was no. Humid? Are you kidding me? Especially not compared to Hershey...where humidity is part of life. But lately...people have been talking about the humidity level in Portland and today, it's higher than Hershey. That's right. Our highs have been in the low 90's. Thursday it was 94 degrees. Today it will be 91 degrees and the humidity is 74%. That is really high. Hershey's is only 50% today. So again I ask, "Are you kidding me?" I know the humidity will go down, and really...Portland's humidity levels are usually 35% or so...nothing compared to Hershey's 80-100% humidity. But wow...July is sure starting out HOT and WET!!! (this from the girl who went from free air conditioning to no air conditioning...we are drowning in heat!!!)
