4th of July Fun

We avoided the beach on the 4th, not wanting to deal with all the tourists, traffic, lack of parking and jelly fish. Instead we opted for a dip in the pool and a backyard bbq. It was a beautiful day, though a little warm. By evening it had cooled nicely and we enjoyed a slight breeze by the river in Olde Towne as we settled in with friends to watch the fire works display. The best part, for me, was watching the expressions on the kids' faces. Our almost 3 year old was especially awed by the spectacle. It was great fun to watch his glee, since last year he was so scared of the noise that I had to leave with him to find a quiet indoor spot. Now that he's a "bid boy" he was all smiles.

So, what was the best part of your holiday weekend?
