Fourth of July Fun!

This year we spent the 4th of July at the beach and had a wonderful time! My grandmother has a vacation rental apartment above her Mission Beach house, and since it wasn't already being rented, we were allowed to stay there. It was so nice to have some place to go and clean up and take naps during the day so that the kiddos would be well rested for fireworks. Both Caityn and Sean behaved beautifully and fell asleep on schedule for naps. Caityn was a bit nervous about the fireworks, but once she heard everyone oohing and aahhing over them, she soon realized that they were something pretty special. Poor Sean was so exhausted by the time the fireworks started that he fell asleep in Grandpa's arms and stayed asleep for the whole hour of fireworks. Sean also took his first wagon ride sitting up without the infant seat, and he LOVED IT!! He probably would have sat in there all day being pulled around the beach. Caityn was just loving all the attention from grandparents and aunts, and she spent tons of time on the sand and in the bay getting all dirty.

Daddy digs the hole while Aunts Breean and Kerry look on. Notice that fog in the background. That stayed around for most of the day.
