4th of July

This year, we spent the 4th of July on grandpa's sailboat with Uncle Keith and Aunt Chandy. We left the marina Saturday morning and enjoyed a leisurely trip to "our spot" on the river in downtown. We hung out on the boat: eating, talking, drinking, and swimming for some. At 9:30, the fireworks started. And, did we have a GREAT seat! The fireworks barge was about 120 yards from the boat. Not only could we hear the fireworks taking off from the barge, we could feel the boom. There were also some fireworks that seemed to be pointed to the water. They skipped like rocks...very cool. This was my first time seeing fireworks and it was spectacular. I'm not sure how mommy and daddy are going to top this one. It was a late night for me but I enjoyed hanging out on the bow of the boat watching the fireworks as I snuggled in daddy's lap. Mommy and I slept in the cabin while daddy, Aunt Chandy, and Uncle Keith slept topside. I think Aunt Chandy came to the cabin during the night. We woke up this morning and headed back to the marine. In fact, we got back just before the rain started; perfect timing! We had a great time and I can't wait to do another overnight trip on the boat.
