A BIG 4th of July Beach Weekend!

"1-2-3 Go"
Megan loved the pool! She kept jumping in for more!



Megan swiped Gammie's glasses!


This is Samuel pretending not to run on the cool decking at the pool!


Livy and her Aunt Stephie "attached at the hip"


Here is Kevin and Gregg headed in from fishing "early"... due to Kevin's bad luck! This is his 3rd time in a row being stopped by the Florida Wildlife Commission... They were basically missing everything they were supposed to have. No whistle... no flashlight or flare... and most importantly... no fishing license! OOPS!


Livy got to pop in for a quick ride too!


Megan went hunting for shell's each morning... mainly because its the best use of time at 6:00am... STINKER!
In her defense... it was a really nice time to be out on the beach.


We basically spent the entire day... everyday... swimming in the pool! It was so refreshing!!!! I could float all day...


Well... finally... no crying... she kept asking for more swimming! "I-a... again"
"1-2-3-16"... she kept going on 16 for some reason... we need to work on 4-5-6-7...
what a goof!


Steph kept the condo stocked with lots a yummy food and drinks... as always... she keeps you feeling like you're on vacation!


What better way to spend your 4th of July... at a fresh squeezed lemonade stand and Ice CREAM! Yummy... Megan wanted her own bowl with sprinkles on top!


You can't beat a good soft serve swirl cone! Mmm... Yummy!


Gammie taught Megan how to pull all the "hair" off the corn!


"I-a... a do it... Megan a BIG help!"
She carried them all the way into the kitchen to boil.


After our 3rd time swimming... we stopped by the grill to watch Daddy and Uncle Gregg cook our Kabobs! Megan was eying the ones down low!
Shell went down to the farmers market early that morning for the fresh veggies!


The teriyaki steaks were the hit of the Bar-B-Q!

Kevin and Gregg were eating more off the grill than they were bringing in "I think"!

Red - White - and Blue!



Gammie got the kiddos some American Flags to wave around...


Lovin' on her Daddy...
"like always"


Steph took Livy out for a quick boat ride before the fireworks started!
They saw TONS of manatees in the water!


You could see the fireworks right off the back porch! Megan had already gone to bed... but we felt guilty that she was missing out... so Daddy went in and surprised her... and let her wake up for all the pretty lights!
She kept calling them "FireTrucks"... and we repeatedly told her they were called "FireWORKS"... but cute and hard headed is still asking for more FireTrucks... days later!


I'm glad Daddy pulled her out of bed to see them... she really loved them... and it finished off our 4th of July just right!


Gregg, Shell, Livy and I shot some off in the parking lot after the big ones were done. They were "Florida" fireworks... so they of course all stayed on the ground!

Now we are back at home... and finishing the last of preparing for Baby Boy Birkett... who by the way... has not revealed his name to us yet. One thing is for sure... he will be named in 19 days or less... we are scheduled for delivery on Monday the 27th... so we'll have to wait and see? The Dr. says everything looks good so far... so aside from going into labor sooner... we are going to enjoy every minute with this baby girl of ours! Its tough to believe she is growing up... so for now... we'll enjoy her being the baby... until our newest one comes along! I'm really starting to get excited! We'll keep you posted!
