Happy (late) 4th of July!

We had a terrific July 4th this year. I had a nice LaZy morning at home. Then, we left the house shortly after lunch time to run by the store and then head on down to the dock. We always love going to the dock, but something about being there on July 4th makes it even more amazing. The kids (big and little ones) swam.

The dogs (especially Blue) have now taken an interest in chasing birds; pelicans seem to be her favorite! Brett and Meredith disappeared to "Rock Island", as usual. They have their own little clubhouse/fort built over there now. Meredith caught several crabs and begged to dissect them. "NO" was the answer I gave her! After an afternoon of swimming, we headed back to Pops and Sue-Sue's to shower and change, then back to the dock for dinner and the best ever fireworks show. We can see at least 6 or more shows throughout the night, ranging from IOP, Sullivans, Mt. Pleasant, Down Town Charleston, James Island, Folly Beach, N. Charleston, etc... Not to mention the neighbors shooting them over the water. Jac enjoyed the fireworks, as long as he was being held! We had a great time visiting with friends and family! Yes, another wonderful 4th to remember! Who needs a vacation? There's nothing like a STAYcation when you live here!
