4th of July - 2009

This year was a very different 4th of July for me. Sure we did the traditional things like fireworks on the lake:

Fireworks in our bay:

And the parade:
We usually have rain over the 4th of July Holiday. It this case it was raining CANDY!
Tip of the day: If you're not getting enough parade candy, bring a net. We've been doing this for 3 years and the novelty still hasn't worn off, the candy throwers can't help themselves, they want to make it into the net, and keep trying until they do! Candy everywhere!

Of course we celebrated a couple birthdays' and the girls had a fabulous spa day. The weather was so crappy we really didn't do much of this:
But we did a lot of this!:
Still my favorite time of year and lots of fun no matter what the weather.
