Happy 4th of July

 4th of July this year was a wonderfully sunny day on the beach with family.



 All dressed for the fourth, ready to watch the fireworks on the beach.

 One thing they miss about being in Colorado for the 4th is the parade.  Here they are having their own.  Maybe we can make it bigger every year!

 I absolutely love each and every one of my siblings!  I feel blessed to have some many and love how different we all are!  I love how we have grown closer as we have gotten older and branched out into our own families.  

 The fireworks on the beach are amazing!  They are being set off in every direction super close.  The kids choose to go under the tent after being hit by some falling ashes from fireworks being shot off so close.  The show began around 8:30 and fireworks were still being shot off when the kids were ready for bed at 10:30.

Ellie fell asleep in Uncle Garrett's arms while fireworks were going off all around her.
