The 4th is huge in our little beach town! Our neighbor told us a few days ago that our street always has a block party where they shut down the street every year. We thought our street was special....well we guessed wrong. On our way to church about every other street was shut down for block parties!
Every year the city puts on an incredible firework show! We heard this and I thought it would be good...it was GREAT!
Some of our friends from our ward, who also helped us move in (Thanks Sarah and Foti!) invited us over to their family BBQ and after we walked down to the fireworks. This is no ordinary family! Her Grandma and Grandpa have been here since the 60's and now not only her Grandma, but her parents and lots of other family! It was a lot of fun! They were very welcoming to us! Sarah made a million desserts! My favorite was her strawberry shortcake, and there was food to boot! YUMM!
Here is a picture of the crowds. They light the fireworks off at the baseball field this was one of 4 sides of the field!
Happy Independence Day!!
