San Juan and 4th of July Island style

We were lucky enough to spend the 4th of July on the Island. So much fun!!!!  We headed into town and went to the tiny local parade.  On the way back we went to false bay and found buried treasure!  Seriously, the kids started hunting clams.  I personally chased the cute little crabs but the big boys found a bunch of clams, so the next stops was home to try and cook these babies.  Thanks heavens for You Tube.  I thought they were absolutely awful, but most of us at least tried a taste.  Kevin and Ty played Cornhole for hours, the kids swam some more and then the crowning moment of the day we went to 4th of July beach and had a fire, and roasted marshmallows and hot dogs, ate watermelon and watched the island fireworks.  We were lucky enough to see Friday Harbor fireworks and the next island over fireworks.  They were awesome!  We sleepily headed home.  We had a few hours the next morning to swim some more, explore the beach and make it to the ferry to head home.  We had some world famous ice cream in Friday harbor and then we had to leave our weekend of fun and head back to real life.  On the way home we stopped at Jen and Chris's house to say hello.  We could only stay about 30 minutes, but is was fun to see where they live.  Pretty awesome weekend for sure.
