Happy Birthday Dad... and USA!

We were fortunate enough to be able to spend almost a week up at the beach house over the 4th of July. My dad celebrated his 65th birthday in style with a massive firework display.. just for him! The next day friends and family all came to the beach to really help him celebrate!

We feel so lucky to be able to have such a great place to be able to spend time at. I love that my kids get to have the exact same experiences as I did playing at the beach. We had great weather while we were there. We caught and ATE lots of delicious crab. We took boat rides, played in the sand, took walks on the beach, and we even had a few days of LOW LOW tide to explore.
