July 4th in Pictures
10 July 2013
This year's festivities felt like an idyllic all-American 4th of July. There was a lot of food, plenty of sangria, and great company. We had sunshine and lots of fun just sitting in the backyard, watching the boys do what boys do (like attempt to jump over a dirt pit). The night was topped off with some fireworks, and we did a bit of cheating by enjoying watching the neighbors' display from our driveway. Here are some pictures from the celebration:

ReplyDeleteOh my, Rachel. This reminds me so much of my 4th celebrations with my family! The 4th of July is a pretty big day in my family... however, since I moved away I have not been to one in three years. Definitely miss them!
ReplyDeleteThe husband and I actually went to an old-fashioned parade while we were in Half Moon Bay and then headed to the beach to relax. Something totally different than what we would normally do on the 4th... but I loved it nonetheless!
Sounds (and looks) like you guys had such fun, I love it! :D
Family celebrations are just so laid-back and fun- and it's hard when you miss out on them, I know!
DeleteUm, an old-fashioned parade sounds really cool, and I'm glad you could enjoy your day despite being far from family. :)
Nothing better than a free fireworks display! Great crisp photos, Rachel!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos! It looks like a day of vibrant celebration and joy.
ReplyDeleteThank you- it really was!
Delete4th of july is one of my favorite holidays, i think it is because we are outdoors, it is casual laid back and not as stressful as the other holidays! looks like you had a wonderful 4th

Thank you! I think we all ate too much on the 4th. Sorry you got sick- that's no fun in July!
DeleteLooks like you had such a fun time- love the pinwheel in the drinks! I went to a firework at the lake with my immediate family and boyfriend :) it was a fun time! I miss my "big" family and group of friends in WI- that's what your 4th reminded me of! x
ReplyDeleteAw, I'm glad my pictures made you think of family and friends in WI. :) Fireworks at the lake sounds really nice.
