4th of July 2009

We had a fun 4th of July with neighbors and friends. To kick it off, we had a neighborhood 4th of July Barbecue and bike parade the weekend before the 4th. I love our neighborhood!!!

A snap shot of a few of the kids
We had about 15 or 20 neighborhood kids over to do sparklers and fireworks. It was a great time - not to mention the garbage can catching on fire. 20 kids running around with sparklers can make for an interesting situation. It was a fun. Jake is a little fire bug - takes after his dad.


On the morning of the 4th, we woke up early and went out on a boat with our friend Larry - a guy that Mike works with. He was nice to take the kids out fishing. They loved it!! They did everything on their own and caught lots of fish. It was fun to watch them. My camera died after a few pictures, so here are the few I got.


Manatee coming up to the boat. We saw lots that day including manatee, dolphin, sting ray, jelly fish, and lots of neat birds. We live in such a beautiful area.
