Fireworks on the Fourth

It's Sunday night and we are back from visiting Ariel at camp!  We had a fun day and it was awesome to see her.  

Last Friday was the 4th of July! I woke up early and went for a run.  I passed by a huge house under construction.  
Then I went with the neighbors to set up the beach.  We brought several tents and 2 grills.  
This was around 8:30 am and there were a lot people on the beach already!

Then I went over to Hot Bagels and waited an hour for breakfast! Not the best planning.  
The twins and Dylan were ready to go!
Some cute shots.  


The cart was the most filled it's ever been.  I don't know how I made it to the beach.  
The boys headed right to the ocean.  

The beach was packed!
Let's make a pool!
Eli likes to use the tarp.  
Let's fill it up!


Cuties!
Then it was time to make lunch!
The kids kept busy so we could eat and drink!
I don't think I've ever seen the beach this busy.  
Aden had Kam and Krish with him.  



The neighbors and their family.  
More shots of the kids headed off the beach.  


We had dinner at my parent's house.  
Then we had the Fourth of July cakes.  
Then we headed to the beach to see the fireworks.  
It's crazy how light it seems with the iPhone camera but it was dark already.  
We played with some sparklers.  
Then we set off some small fireworks.  Other people shot off huge ones! 
Eli and Steven.
We could see the fireworks in Ocean City.  
I love this shot.  You can now see fireworks going all down the coast to Cape May.  
I love this shot of Eli watching the Margate fireworks.  

It was very pretty.  

We got a fabulous pic that day of Ariel, Eva and Gwen!

Enjoying the Rides

Last Thursday, we were happy we were in Margate because we got to go to the farmer's market.  
We got there around 9 and it was already hot out and the place was packed.  

We got some sweets.  

We got some pizza and flowers.  
We don't get to go that often because we usually aren't around on Thursdays.  
We ran into Artie!
Such a cutie.  
The twins helped my mom make a cake for the 4th.  

The boys decorated it.
So cute!
We did some swimming.  
Look at this handsome couple.  
Eli's friend Dylan and his sister Devyn joined us.  

Eli was so happy to have his friend there.  
That night, we went to the Ocean City boardwalk.  
Cuties.  

It was a beautiful night.  
We got some candy.  
Then we went to Manco's for pizza.  
Yum!

We ran into Emily and Mike.  
Then it was time to hit the rides.  
These rides would all make me sick.  
First one.

Second one.  
Third one.  Look at those faces.  

Then the swings.  

The gang!
The boardwalk was packed!
The mummers!

What a fun night.  Have a great weekend!
