Some beautiful and fragrant Mock Orange growing in downtown Coupeville.
We took advantage of the nice weather and did a little geocaching. Lexi had never done it before, so we thought it would be a fun activity for her. I'm not going to tell you where this one is located just in case you might want to find it yourself.
Ron has always wanted to do a "Clambake in a Pot", so he decided the 4th was a good day for it. They layered everything in a big pot. It had to go in a certain order depending on how the food cooked. They started with onions, garlic, beer and then added a layer of seaweed, potatoes and chorizo. Now comes the sea food in this order, crab, clams and corn, then mussels and shrimp. It looked beautiful and tasted delicious, but they decided it needed to cook a little longer than the recipe said.
We did go for a walk on the beach and found a few agates, but it was cold and very windy! Around dinner time the cruise ships start leaving Seattle and we like to watch them go by. We are amazed at the number that leave each week. There used to be 3 that left on Saturday and 3 on Sunday. Now there seem to be that many that leave on Thursday, Friday and Monday as well. Maybe there are even more on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I don't know. 
Here we have Dave, Abby the dog, Amy, Jennie, Jerad, Amber, Robin and Lexi trying to keep warm. The wind blew and it was cold, so we put up the canopy with wind blocks on 3 sides. We put the propane fire pit in the center and huddle around it to keep warm. Ah, where is summer?
4th of July fireworks! It was so cold and windy that we did not go up on the bluff to watch the Port Townsend fireworks this year. It's the first time we have missed since we started watching them years ago. Jodie and Rich brought fireworks for us to share in camp, so we had a great time and enjoyed them.
