We braved the crowds once again and headed to the east coast to spend Independence Day at the beach. We found a great parking spot this time. We arrived a little after lunch time then spent the rest of the afternoon there.
Charlotte was definitely in the mix when everyone was playing in the sand, but when Rosemary and Ben went out with Jonathan in the waves, she preferred to stay up by me.
The kids and Jonathan crafted a shark. It was fun to watch it slowly fall apart with each rising wave.
Ben kept watching a father and son play football. They finally asked him if he wanted to join in and he happily did. When they left he yelled a ‘thank you’ to them as they walked by.
We wrapped up the day with dinner at Corky Bells. We made it just in time and managed to be inside during the brunt of a rain storm.
It was also raining in Gainesville as we neared home, but our neighbors on the next street didn’t let the rain deter them from setting off their massive fireworks display. We watched, but Charlotte didn’t like it so I brought her inside to get ready for bed. It was another fun Independence Day at the beach.
