We spent the Fourth of July {and an extended weekend} down on the coast with my family. My dad's birthday is on the Fourth, so we always have a fun celebration.
There was no shortage of fun and entertainment for my children. They {we} swam, went for boat rides, saw and chased a Pirate's Ship {Carter loved this part!}, the big boys went fishing, we went on a Sunset dinner cruise on the 4th, and we ate yummy 4th food and celebrated Big Pat's birthday!
We couldn't have asked for a prettier weekend, and we enjoyed our family and our fun in the sun! Here is just a peek at our weekend in pictures!

Early the morning of the 4th, Big Pat, Uncle Steve and Dad went fishing. They caught their limit of red snapper {2/person} and were back at the dock by 11:30am! Everyone had to check out the catch!

Mom had planned to serve the traditional ribs and sides to celebrate the 4th, but after the big catch that morning, we changed plans. We had the traditional BBQ food for lunch and took a dinner/drink boat cruise that evening and had appetizers, beverages and red snapper tacos! Yummy! It was a fun time...most of the boat traffic had died down and we enjoyed being together out on the water.
Lots of activity while the cooking was going on

We hope your Fourth of July was as relaxing, fun, and memorable as ours was!
