soggy fireworks

we had rainy fireworks this year.  it usually threatens to rain and then never does, but this year it was more than threats.  it was kinda fun though, watching the fireworks from under the umbrella.  they were still as beautiful as ever.  

here is our view out from underneath the umbrella

sarah trying to ignore me taking her picture

home for flag cake.  this year we added a layer of banana and vanilla pudding.  yum-o!

what's with the british flag shirt sarah? we are celebrating our freedom FROM them you goof!

happy fourth a little late

so here we are half-way through july and i am finally posting some pics from fourth of july! enjoy! hope yours was as fab as ours. ribs, swimming, fireworks and flag cake add up to a fabulous family day!

we decided to go downtown again this year but across the intracoastal this time. it was perfect. right by our fave ficus tree by flagler museum. i thought this was a fun shot and very "florida". i love the palm trees here.

downtown west palm beach. across from where we were watching. gor-geous! next time i'll photshop out the light from the barricade at the bottom. i think it gives it some urban flair!
flagler museum by night. and for those of you not familiar with florida history this was only his winter get-away! nice.oooooooo! awwwwwwww!

seriously was the best one we could get. apparently we've added two blonde boys to the family. and who needs lawn chairs when you have tree roots to sit on?

even brady came along. these following pics will show how our children usually view the fireworks every year.

i was trying to take a picture out through the windshield and this is what i got! look it's snowing in south florida in july!
then home for our traditional flag cake after the show. nummy! this year with ice cream. even better!
