4th of July Festivities

A nice long weekend with rain in the forecast ended up being a beautiful, sunny, and dry mini-staycation.  Friday night I went out in Plymouth with the girls, then Saturday morning we were up bright and early to hit the beach.  It was a perfect beach day at Humarock and I am beginning to realize that Plymouth is way too far for me to travel too when there are so many awesome beaches much closer to home.  Colton was swimming like a fish until he got rolled over like a dust ball in a wave (just missed getting the 360 degree rollover on video and I didn't notice until that night that he actually cut his head open...he is fine though).  That night we had dinner outside at Hingham Beerworks and then went to the waterfront to watch the Hingham fireworks.  Typical Colton, he fell asleep for the finale.  Sunday we did lots of stuff around the house and then had the O'Connell clan over for a cookout, followed by frozen yogurt down at the shipyard where we laid on the pier and watched the Weymouth fireworks from across the bay (awesome idea people...no traffic...then again no fried dough, no live music or moonwalks - don't tell the kids).  Monday we had my Nana, Papa, Aunt Judy, Uncle Paul and the O'Connells over for another BBQ.  Great weekend with the fam, what more could a girl ask for?
