Vacation: The beach and Fourth of July

We live in the Midwest so we don't have many opportunities to visit the beach, so we were sure to spend some time on the beach in Plymouth.  The beaches in New England aren't as nice as the beaches in Florida but it was still fun even with a more rocky beach and cooler water.  The ocean is just amazing.  Greg once again was not really able to do much since he couldn't get wet at all.

Our Sea Turtle.  I was the main architect and the kids gathered rocks.

Anna and Jake loved the water the most.  As Jacob would say, "Me and Anna rare water buddies."

Adam convinced the kids to bury him in the sand.

 If you have multiple children you know that if one of them does something the others are going to want to do it too.  This is Jacob.

We planned to go to a parade on the morning of Fourth of July but it was raining pretty hard so we decided not to go.  We spent a lot of the day playing games. The rain let up and we had a BBQ and went swimming at our pond. Then that evening we braved the crowds and went to Plymouth Harbor to see the fireworks.  Adam found us and amazing spot down on some rocks right by the water.  It was awesome to be right by the water because you could see the reflection of the fireworks on the water.  It was a great place to be for Fourth of July.  It was our last night there so was a fun way to go.
