4th of July Beach Week!

hello and happy monday! i hope this week is off to a good one and everyone is coming home from a long, enjoyable holiday weekend....or heck, maybe you're weekend is still going and that's even better.

little man and i spent the past week out at my parents beach house and enjoyed the 4th of July out there, along with some friends. it was awesome!  and a great way to escape this ridiculous heat we're having so early in Spokane.

we got super patriotic bright and early in the morning when we enjoyed red, white and blue pancakes for breakfast and then spent the day relaxing on the beach, deck and in the cabin when it got too hot.

even though the little ones missed the fireworks (bedtime's a bummer man), it was still fun to sit out on my parents deck and watch the fireworks over the water, we also enjoyed an epic 4th of july meal with ribs, potato salad, broccoli slaw and topped it off with some red white and blue (strawberry, blueberry and whip cream) short cakes. here are some photos from the week/4th of july!
