3rd of July

Well, better late than never.  July has come and gone and I still haven't posted our pictures from the 3rd of July.  Yep, it's not a misprint, we watched fireworks on the beach on the 3rd and then we traveled back to Birmingham on the 4th. 

We had a great idea to take a picnic to the beach and watch the fireworks.  Over the water it was beautiful,

and the plan went off well until these clouds started rolling in.

A big storm rolled in with lots of loud thunder and people were running to their cars.  We decided to try to wait it out in the car and luckily the storm didn't last long, and they went ahead with the fireworks.

We also got a few cute pictures before the rain came.
