4th of July-Mattawa, Washington

We spent the 4th of July in Mattawa, Washington. My best friend, Casie, is home for summer break from Oklahoma State. This was our chance to see her before she heads back to school, so we headed to Mattawa for the weekend. As soon as we got there on Saturday we took our boat out on the mighty Columbia river. We spent a few hours out there and then came back into town to a pig roast and fireworks. On Sunday, we were hoping to take the boat out again, but due to 35mph wind gusts we just relaxed around Casie's. In the evening, Casie's dad cooked us his famous tri-tip. After dinner, Curt, Logan, I headed to Tri-Cities to meet up with some more friends and enjoy the fireworks a top of a hill in the Tri-Cities. It was pretty cool watching the fireworks 360 degrees around us in the 3 cities and then all of the private fireworks. On a side note, referring to some earlier pictures of Logan no enjoying her life vest...she does excellent in it now! She evens knows how to drive the boat as you will see in some of these new pictures. She would start steering and she knows that the lever on the right side is the throttle.
