Freezing 4th!

The sun did not celebrate the 4th of July with us this year but we still had a great time.

Pre 4th bike ride and dinner with Uncle Jack and Mrs. Edie

4th of July morning donut celebration

Although it was cold, we braved the beach to meet up with some friends...some were braver than others and swam in the ocean... some built sand castles... some one parked it in a beach chair wrapped in a towel and ate buffalo wing pretzels. 




Papa and Mimi arrived for the evening feast and fireworks. My dad made a fruit flag fandango. He's never even looked at Pinterest, people... he's just that creative! He also made an apple pie from scratch using my Nana Welch's recipe which called for, "2 handfuls of flour."
Miss her.


My sweet hubby grilled the meat. Delicious is an understatement. 


And after the feast we walked down the street to watch the fireworks... in down vests :)
