Happy Birthday America!

This year, like last year, we went to the coast for the 4th of July.

After celebrating the holiday with a parade (yes, there were tractors again) and fireworks (which we could actually see this year), we went to the beach to enjoy the sand, water, and sun:







I practiced my David Hasselhoff lifeguard romp:





Daddy taught me to skip rocks into the ocean:



and to strut out of the surf:



I practiced my surfer pose with Grandpa John and Great-Uncle JJ:





Grandma Carolyn taught me how to splash the salt water:



And make a sand castle in the sand:



We also played with birds, squirrels, and deer:









We watched a beautiful sunset:







I had so much fun, I'll have to tell you more in my next post!



I can't wait until next year.



In health news, I had a 4-month checkup with my cardiologist, and I don't have to go back for another 4 months!
