Happy Birthday America!!!

John and I decided to do a huge American flag in honor of our country! It turned out great! Everyone loved it!

The boys were trying to get attention from the people passing by! Having a balcony is always fun :)

Caitlin is painting Maddie's nails! That was a fun experience.

I am lovin' on Chase! He is so sweet! I love ya bub!!! ;)

John is cookin' us up some amazing hamburgers and hotdogs for dinner! They were yummy!

The kids ate some ice cream while waiting for the fireworks to start!

John was our offical sparkler lighter!

The fireworks over the ocean was so awesome! None of us had ever been to the beach for the 4th, so it was new for all of us. It was especially neat with the full moon right next to the fireworks. We had a wonderful night with our kids and that was a great way to end our vacation.
