Us, minus one

Capturing a nice picture of Hadley? Impossible, of course!

Eric and I being silly

So it was a wonderful holiday and plenty humid, too. We spent the earlier part of the day around the house with everyone including Jane, David, & Gram-Gram having a wonderfully delicious cookout. Eric made the best bleu cheese burgers with TONS of fresh garlic and sauteed onions and mushrooms (my absolute fave)! It was very enjoyable. Then, for the evening, we made our way to St. Petersburg for the first time to their fireworks on the pier. While it looked like it might rain (no surprise during this time of year), it only sprinkled around 6 o'clock for a few minutes. By nine, it was clear and lovely and the kids were finally settled in too. Initially, they were slightly crabby but after a couple unhealthy corndogs, some pirate's booty, and one funnel cake later, they were more than perfect and all set to enjoy the beautiful fireworks display. Imogen was a bit apprehensive, as she always is with fireworks, but after a few ooohs and ahhhs, she was just fine and looked to enjoy the show as much as everyone else did. It really was a great time!
