Independence Day - 4th of July Festivities


To celebrate the declaration of independence for our nation and to be free to do and be...




We started the morning with a flag raising by our boy scouts.  (Photos by Mitzi Aniel)







We ate a tasty pancake breakfast at our church.





We had a bike parade for the kiddos.  

Joel and I totally tricked out Emmy's ride.  It was super fun.
Off to the start.
Starting line.  Let's burn this candle...
Emma's "Support Car" aka. Daddy and Buddy
The Florida heat is getting to this little one, but he's happy to be here.
Coming around the bend.
Priceless. 














We went to the beach with family, had fun, and got tuckered out.










Some friendly dog owners let our kids pet their dogs, Pepper and Blondie,
with sandy hands on our way back to the car.


Bathed the kids, they crashed, and we listened to fireworks while tucked warmly in our beds.  [Zzzz...snore...] 

Happy 4th of July, Family and Friends!  Hope you had a great one!
