After a laazzy day of lounging and playing around the house....
We BBQ'd some brats....
....and headed to the beach to watch fireworks....
Jason was a bit uneasy about going to the beach, and Reagan was a bit uneasy about going to see fireworks, but they each put on a brave face....
The sand was soft, the air was warm, but with the most delicious breeze, and the sound of the ocean was sooo soothing. We had the Atlantic City show to the North, the Ocean City show to the South, all the other city shows in between - we were at the show in Margate - and people all around lighting off fireworks, we were surrounded by fireworks. It was AMAZING!!!

We were maybe 50 yards from where the fireworks were being set off, so it was LOUD and BRIGHT!!!
Jason, Reagan and Elli quickly found my lap when it started!!
Trevor and Joshua loved it....Trevor looks like Brandon from behind....
Trevor looking very thoughtful....
Joshua looking....
Reagan covered his ears for the entire show....Jason didn't seem to mind it too much (he did mention that he thought that the fireworks were killing the birds ;))....and Elli fell asleep amidst the bangs and booms and lights about 5 minutes after the show began....
There was lots of traffic coming home - there are 4 bridges/roads into the areas south of Atlantic city, and 2 are toll bridges/roads - everyone fell asleep except Chris and I. We got home at about 11pm, but the nap in the car rejuvenated Trevor and Joshua enough to wake up and have strawberry shortcake....
I didn't hear from Brandon all day...I hope he got to see some fireworks....I miss him tons!!
Hope you all had a super Independence Day!!

Great pictures of everyone, even the one of the back of Chris's head. Trevor sure does look like Brandon from the back. He is maturing too soon.
Dad and I watched the WA DC celebration and really enjoyed it. Not the same as the Boston Pops with Arthur Fiedler but it was neat with a lot of old songs. Haven't been to real fireworks in a long time. Kind of miss it.
Wish I could be there to see our pkg being opened.
HAPPY 11th BIRTHDAY JOSHUA!!!
