We had a lovely 4th of July at a place called Jones Beach on Long Island. We sunbathed, we swam, we napped, we ate sand, and we had a front row seat to the fireworks that night.
(If you look carefully you can see who was eating the sand.)
There were thousands and thousands of people at the beach, and someone capitalized on the captive audience from the movie G.I. JOE. This guy went all along the beach dangling from a helicopter. It got plenty of attention.
Emmilene was scared of the fireworks for the first 30 seconds, but then settled into a fascinated stupor.
We were so pleased to have such a lovely view of the fireworks that we thought it didn't matter how long it would take to get home. 4 hours later (at 3 am) as we walked into our apartment, we vowed to never stay to the end of a firework show on a crowded beach again.
But it was a lovely day.

I want Em's swimsuit! So cute! Nothing like holiday traffic in the city. Glad you made it home safe and sound!
Looks like a lot of fun!! I watched fireworks in GRANTSVILLE, UT in the comfort of a patio chair, with a blanket and a 4-year-old beside me, AND only an hour away from home! It was a pretty good show...and the food was FABULOUS. Gotta love the 4th of July.
4 HOURS LATER? ahhhh. Looked like you guys had a very fun day. Love ya.
