Celebrating Our Independence

The Vineyard is a beautiful place to celebrate the 4th of July.

My favorite holiday.

So my parents decided to experience it for themselves.

My mom knows how to celebrate with these jazzy toes.

After our pancake breakfast,

we packed up our stuff and headed to the beach.

Too bad the "Katama Fog" rolled in.

But we managed to enjoy ourselves.

Of course.

If you've ever read Sameul Beckett's play "Happy Days"

you'll have a good laugh at this photo:

Brent took the pleasure of covering her body with sand.

Which she surprisingly loved!

Not quite standing up on her own.

But with the help of the sand and her Daddy,

Maybeline was getting the hang of it.

I love love love

these hands.

And these hands

love love love the sand.

Now we're off to the parade!

Anyone know what this car is from?

What's a 4th of July parade without the Scotts Society?

Maybeline loved the parade!

She was waving at everyone going by.

This may look like we're trying for a cute & cheesy couple shot...

But the story is...

I was trying to be stylish for the parade

(because you HAVE to look good for a 10 min. parade)

so I wore these super cute silver sequence wedges.

Well after running to try and make it to the parade,

then walking all the way back to the car,

my feet HURT!

Blisters and all.

So I hitched a ride.

Thanks love.

After a yummy BBQ dinner with our friends,

it was time to hike down to the lighthouse for the fireworks.

For a front row seat.

Taking a little snooze before the big show.

Now here's where we're trying to be cute & cheesy.

Precious.

Maybeline was not a fan of the fireworks.

No surprise there.

So she cuddled with her Dad the entire show

while we sat back and relaxed.

It was another dreamy 4th.
