Fireworks at the beach

Independence Day weekend!

There are lots of great things about having grandparents.
One of them just happens to be that they live near a gorgeous lake
that puts on a spectacular fireworks show over the water.

We spent our holiday watching the rockets' red glare
at Lake Monticello. What a show!
Okay, so maybe it didn't look EXACTLY like this.But it did look like this.

And this.
Something about the cool sand inspired
a Kumbaya moment for Jeremy.

The glow sticks came out after the sun went down.

Lily played in the sand for hours and didn't even try to eat any!

(Imagine that I've posted some of the video footage from the show here,
until I can figure out the software that came with my new camcorder.)
