 On Monday night we wanted to do a hot dog/s'mores roast.We had to go down early in the morning and leave some stuff at one of the beach fire pits to be able to get one for a fire later that night.  We were desperate to get one, so Jeff wrote on a paper plate "Reserved for the "Make-a-Wish Foundation" Orange County Chapter".  It worked, we got a spot!  I guess no one had the heart to take the fire pit after reading that!  :)

 Jeff bought a two man kayak back in December and has been itching to bring it down to Newport to ride it in the ocean and in the Newport canals and bay.  He loaded it on our truck and we got it down there. It was fun to cruise around.

This is one of my favorite photos...Jamisen and his cousin Cole working it in their diapers

 Before we went down to Newport, we took a little weekend trip to Monterey to visit Jeff's parents and brother family that just moved there. It was a pretty day.  This is overlooking the bay in Carmel.

 July 14th was Bastille Day (basically Independence Day for France), so we had a celebratory crepe at Fisherman's Wharf in Monterey.

             Roasted Marshmallows on the beach in Monterey.  As you can see, Jamo was enjoying himself.

We celebrated the 4th of July in Fresno with a swim party, a BBQ, and ended it with fireworks at our house at night.  Jeff's brother's family and his parents came over to celebrate with us.

                                Jamisen is a pyro.  The look on his face in this photo says it all

Fireworks in front of our house

I had to take a photo of this. Jeff was trying to fix the sprinklers in the backyard one night after work and Jamisen wouldn't stop clinging onto his back.

My freshman/sophomore college roommate Adele came to town and we had a BBQ at our house with our friend Ashley and their families.  Here is Adele, me, and Ashley

Jeff's had a party for his Sunday School class at our house.  We played a bunch of games including the "Flour game".  Poor MaKenna made the tower fall so she had to face plant in the flour to get the penny out! 

What's a party without some Wii dance?

             Jamisen went camping with Jeff up in Sequoia National park for the Father and Sons Outing
