We really got into the spirit of the holiday.
I mean we really got into the spirit except the boys wouldn't participate in the doughnut eating contest. If they weren't dressed patriotically, I would have questioned their American-ness at refusing free doughnuts.
In addition to boating and swimming and hot dog eating and parading, the boys got to see their first fireworks. Not only did they enjoy the huge fireworks in the sky (even Alex talked non-stop through the show in amazement), they got to experience the sheer joy of some North Carolina rednecks in a camouflage truck shooting off fireworks in the parking lot while tailgating before the show.
On the drive home from fireworks Nate said, "Mommy I have something very nice to tell you, do you want to hear it? Happy Independence Day!"
I can't imagine a better celebration. What did you do?

Love it! Looks like it was a great day (and awesome colors in the photos!). I remember having such fun on 4th of July as a kid, putting streamers on my bike and stuff. We haven't gotten much into the local festivities here, but I definitely plan on it when we move back to Chicago.
Wonderful pictures! LOVE the family shot with the leis and the solid colored clothing - perfect!
Happy Fourth of July!
