July 4th - Two Thousand and TEN (better late than never)

I had a busy month of July last year and never blogged our July 4th festivities.  I don't remember much more than the photos, so that's why I took them! 
We started out our weekend w/ a rainy Thresher's baseball game, much like in 2010

 We went to Gator's for dinner. 

We went to the beach to watch the fireworks.  Look how little my boys were!

 Here's our set up.  And for some reason I thought my long shorts looked funny in the shadow.  Notice I go IN at the waste.  Not this year (2011). 

 We played in the waves.  Dylan first,

 and Isaac tries. 

 Here's the pit the Crews had from being at the beach the entire day. 

 Look how little my Isaac is! 

 More fun in the water. 

 And on land.  It wasn't too crowded, so we could play. 

 The sun started to go down, so we started the evening festivities. 

 Noah was nervous (and sunburned) so his grandma held him while Olivia eyed the sparklers and asked if she could have some. 

 Isaac was a little nervous and mainly stayed in his mommy or daddy's lap. 

 While the other kids ran around like crazy. 

 The dads loved their own "Fire in the hole!!" fireworks.

 And Corrie and I enjoyed our annual sparklers too. 

I don't remember being able to see the different cities' fireworks that well, but the beach, as always, was like a battlefield w/ random booms and sparks.  It had been rainy, but was perfect for the evening. 

I'll blog 2011's fun soon.
