4th of July

We had a fun/low key 4th of July here.  

We had a bunch of friends come over for a potluck.

One of the families stayed and we did some fireworks with them.

The kids loved all of the fireworks, especially the sparklers.

Travis stayed in during the sparklers this year, since last year he burned his finger pretty bad.

One of these years we will stay up for the night fireworks show...

Low Tide

There is a beach pretty close to our house that had low tide last week.  

We headed over to explore and look for starfish, shells, and sea anemones.

It was a little cold and really windy, but the kids loved exploring.

Aubs found a bunch of cool shells.

We are going to miss being so close to so many beaches.

Jared kept wanting to walk straight into the water.
