Fabulous 4th!

Let FREEDOM ring!.....
What happened to the Stadium of Fire and Jonas Brothers this year?!.... so sad to say that it was difficult to get the my whole fam together for our annual gathering. :( So... Although a lil homesick, we decided to get out and make it a day to remember with the "family" we have here.

Our 4th of July started with a Diet Coke ;) :) a quick change into one of the many swimsuits (hee hee!) to hit the Santa Monica Beach oh, and... stopped for twizzler bits and some other goodies! :) If you know me..... diet coke and twizzler bits are a MUST for me!!!
Josh decided to grab a bat and wiffle ball, which was a blast hitting into the waves! Ha, ha!... good luck to whoever had to go fetch em in the water!! ;)
Our friends have boogie boards and of course Brittany somehow talked me and Jenika into getting in the water. Oh... and just prior to our venture into the water she was discussing how a shark was spotted in the EXACT same area!.... Yeah!.... that made me feel all warm and fuzzy! What was I thinking getting in???! So.... it makes sense now why the lifeguard boat was patrolling our area as well as helicopter watch. :) Anyhow, we had a BLAST catching a few waves together! Too bad my camera battery died right as we entered the water!!!

Thank you to the Davis's for the De-li-cious BBQ they prepared and to our chef (Katie) for her amazing talent in baking.... strawberry short cake made from scratch! Oh, it was to die for!!! I bet she gets a few great tips from working on Giada's show!

So, not only did we get some sun and sand..... delicious BBQ food and something sweet to top it off, we got a great show of fireworks at the CC High School. Like Brittany said, "This was the best 4th of July ever!... Oh, wait!... besides the Washington D.C fireworks!" LOL!
Yeah, although very few firework shows can top The Stadium of Fire for us!... We still had a fabulously fun time with our friends!!! Thanks guys!... We Love You!! ;) :)
