4th of July Fun

How blessed we were to have Ruth come visit and celebrate 4th of July with us! She is our first visitor to our new home here in the south.

Thursday night we went to a baseball game and saw a fireworks show.
Friday we went to a BBQ and Azure ate lots of watermelon and strawberries.


As is evidenced by her stained patriotic onesie.

Then we headed to the beach to swim, play, and watch another firework show.

Saturday we headed downtown to show Ruth the sites and were caught in a flashflood. And I do mean FLOOD!

You may not be able to tell, but Charles is soaked in this pic. He ran to get our car during the down pour.

When it finally cleared up we went to another part of town and looked at some southern homes.

We are so grateful to live in this beautiful country and enjoy so many freedoms. We feel even more patriotic this year to live in one of the 13 original American Colonies and to walk on land where men and women lost their lives trying to perserve this country.

What a fun time! Sounds like you and Ruth had a great time. That last picture of the moss covered trees is just beautiful.

I wish we could come visit you guys. I wish that gas didn't cost so much. Sounds like you guys are having a nice time.

It's so beautiful there, so hey I'm on blogspot now. It's all new to me, still trying to figure it all out.
