4th of July

Every year we have a girls' beach week at Surfside with my sister-in-laws, mother-in-law, and the kids. The men come on the weekends. We usually do a week in June, but this year we did July 4th week so the men could stay an extra day.

We had great weather at the beginning of the week and lots of beach and pool time. We also saw the BEST fireworks I have ever seen. We made a day of the beach and stayed out until dark. You would not believe the amount of people that did the same. The fireworks were amazing and lasted well over 2 hours. Henry went to sleep early last year, so this was his first real firework show. He wasn't fazed by the noise, instead enjoyed oohing and aahing and yelling out the colors he saw. He even had his first sparkler experience. The week was great and we can't wait for next year!
