July 4th 2011

We celebrated the 4th at Crabijeans this year again. It is hard to believe that it will probably be our last time visiting crabis since it is for sale:( So many great memories. Nothing can compare to the celebrating the fourth of July on the water! Our kids got to stay up 2 nights in a row very late to enjoy fireworks. Saturday night we went to Kinsale to sit on top of the bridge over the water and watch the town's fireworks. The town shuts down the road and bridge for the event. It was Mason's first time seeing fireworks, so it was so amazing to watch his joy and eyes light up saying, " ohhh I like that one and I like that one and..." Regan slept through the whole thing in the stroller. Then on Sunday night we put the kids to bed but soon after we started to hear fireworks across the water. Logan and I ended up getting the boys up b/c the display outside was spectacular. There were like 8 different firework displays and two others, one on each side of crabijeans. We took the boys out onto the dock at 1000pm to watch them and see all the reflections in the water. They were so excited we got them out of bed. They weren't sleeping anyways:) River enjoyed fishing a bunch and caught about 12 fish with Logan. He even had 2 double catches! Needless to say, he was a very happy boy. Regan got to experience Crabijeans for the first time and probably the last. We also enjoyed tying the tube to the dock and floating on it with the kids. River and Mason loved jumping in the water from the dock. Doah had a quick swim too. Logan was our cook on the grill both nights and we enjoyed delicious dinners. Although we did return with a ton of bug bites, we made some nice memories.
