Happy 4th of July!

By far the best 4th of July ever, thanks to Darrin & Lance we got a great spot on the beach! They woke up at 5:30 in the morning to get a parking spot before they were all taken and set up our stuff on the beach. They came back home, we hung out and just prepared for the day until around 2 o'clock. (they took two cars so they could leave the truck parked)

The day was perfect! We made homemade cookies and dips the night before, had tons of fruit, drinks and grilled out hot dogs and hamburgers for dinner. I think we ate the entire day! We watched the beautiful sun set and as it got cooler outside we lit the fire. We brought our fit pit out there to keep us warm at night and to top it off we cooked smores!

By around 8:45 we were the only ones left on the beach. Everyone had packed up and headed other places to watch the fireworks. I kept telling them it was time to go and that that we couldn't see the fireworks from where we were. Finally they blew out the fire and as we were carrying our last load to the car the biggest firework shot up right over out head!! I couldn't believe it!! So we open up our chairs and watched the firework show, it was awesome and Reagan loved it!! What a fun day on the beach!
