Happy 3rd of July!

Instead of having their annual beach party on the 4th of July this year, Chris's dad Randy and his wife Terrie moved it to the 3rd. So Happy 3rd of July!

We had a great day with all sorts of beach activities, great food, and fireworks. Here are a few of the highlights.

Mira tried waterskiing for the first time! She tried a few times, but never did get up. She was very close, though! We'll try again later this year. I was so proud she kept trying and never quit. She's really become braver this year!

Amelia loving the beach! She and Mira were in the water for about 6 hours straight!
Riding the Seadoo behind the boat:
And swimming to shore when their turn was over:
My beach sweeties:
Chris taking the jet ski for a ride:
He gave Amelia a (very short) ride too! She didn't love it as much and wouldn't let him go fast.
Amelia and Mira trying out sparklers:

There were spectacular fireworks too! Of course, I missed them. Amelia and I thought they were very loud and went inside to plug our ears! Mira and Chris loved them, though!

Today, we are finally able to go to my aunt Debbie's house for her annual watching of the parade and picnic! More photos to come! Happy 4th of July, everyone!
