4th of July Weekend

We started our 4th of July with a trip to Kaneohe Bay for some swimming and snorkeling.  

 It was a beautiful beach day.

 Sarah loved it.   She spent an hour lounging in her floaty.  

 We had some friends over for a bbq that afternoon.  We had lots of yummy food, including our first watermelon of the summer.  Delicious!

 Sarah was pretty excited about the melon too.

Hand-cranked ice cream is a 4th of July tradition.  This year we made peach.

 It was a big hit. 

 Our cute red, white, and blue family. I had fun making Sarah's outfit.

That evening, we walked outside on to the street and watched the fireworks they were launching from the base.  It was a great holiday.

The next morning, Sarah woke up at 5:00, so we went to the beach early.  Sarah played in her jammies for a while and then went back to sleep. We all got a nice early start on our Saturday.

Someone gave Sarah this lovely Christmas dress which she is just growing in to, so we figured it made a good 4th of July Sunday dress.

Of course, to be really patriotic she wore her Padres shoes with it.

We had a wonderful holiday weekend. It was a great chance to spend time as a family before Kelson left for sea and I left for Oregon for a month.
