This year we headed to our friends' lake house near Solomons, Maryland, for the 4th of July. Solomons is on the west side of the Chesapeake Bay, and the lake house was just a 5-minute canoe ride (or 10-minute walk) to the beach.
Evelyn went on two canoe rides, and she was fortunate to see bald eagles soaring along the coastline both times. She had a lot of fun at the beach . . . until a jellyfish stung her. Aside from the nasty stinging that lasted several minutes, she was fine.
Julia headed over to the beach after her nap, but she was too drowsy for any swimming. She just wanted to check out the water while staying on land.
Here's our Peanut, ready to paddle back to the lake house from the beach.
After eating supper, we lit some small fireworks and sparklers in the driveway. Sparklers always bring smiles to kids' faces, don't they?
This picture sums up Julia's opinion of fireworks this year:
