Fourth of July at the Beach!

Greetings!
First of all, let me say that I am completely disappointed in myself for the lack of good pictures from the July 4th weekend. I had cute outfits on the kids and didn't get one picture of them alone, or together. No pictures of fireworks, sparklers, beach pics in the daytime......NADA! So...........below is pretty much what I took. :(

We did have fun watching fireworks on the beach by a campfire and making SMORES!! Yum. I don't know how it happens, but how does sand always get in the smores?? Oh well, they were still delicious! I could go for one right now.







And here we are at the Cloverdale 4th of July parade. Woo-hoo! We missed most of it trying to find a place to park, but caught a few "floats" and managed to snag some candy. They were only throwing candy on the right side of the street, because they had traffic taking turns in the left lane. This was the MAIN road through town. We parked in the driveway of someone's barn. :)



Malia is off this week for an African Dance camp near YaYa's house at the coast. I can't beleive she'll be gone so long. We will head down next weekend for the final PERFORMANCE and an African dinner.

Have a great Sunday.
