4th of July trip to the beach

Just wanted to share a few pictures from our trip to the beach over the 4th.

I have a love for a beautiful sunset/sunrise. If I could plaster the walls in my house with pictures of a nice sunset over the ocean, I think I would! It's one of those times when you get a moment to take a breath, step back and revel in the beauty of our Earth.

My kids love the beach, and frankly, I think this was the only time they sat still! We'd go to it first thing in the morning till lunch.

Pool time

And of course, when the beach gets too warm and crowded we'd head to the covered pool. There were no objections from the kids.

And no 4th weekend would be complete without fireworks. I'm still not great at getting good shots... but I really liked the first of these two and that burst that I caught I thought was cool.

I hope that you enjoyed them too.
Can't wait to get back!
