Waiting to watch fireworks... We sat here for three hours until the
fireworks started only to find our view blocked by a tree.

Found Emily wedged herself into a box under a hat

Justin and Holly are the king and queen of the playset

Everyone wants to ride the merry-go-round, but
no one wants to push.

Holly can scale the climbing wall
all by herself.

goldfish and blueberries

Finally out on the beach! Thea, Holly and Faith in a photo op before
they hit the water

Baywatch?

Fun in the sun
