I always knew the 4th of July was a great holiday, but this year I have realized that it is in fact my favorite holiday (maybe tied with Christmas). There's no stress that comes along with it, there is always fun outdoor stuff to do, yummy food is always involved, there are often parades, and best yet, there are fireworks. I love fireworks.
After church, Rob and I changed into holiday-appropriate clothing (well, I actually wore festive clothing to church as well, but I had to make it casual for the rest of the day), had a wonderful bbq, and then went to one of the best firework shows we have witnessed.
This is Rob's 4th of July shirt. He has worn it every 4th of July since 2006.
The Malibu Colony, which is a super exclusive gated community on the beach in Malibu, put on the fireworks. We thought it was going to be really crowded, so Rob and I packed blankets, games, and snacks, then headed down to the beach a couple of hours early. It was a beautiful evening- perfect for being outside. There were surfers in the water that we watched, we played many games of UNO, and we visited with Seamore the Seagull.
The fireworks were spectacular. Rob and I have been in DC for the 4th a couple of times, which is amazing. But we couldn't decide which was better. Since the fireworks were launched from a barge in the ocean, each one would light up the water with different colors. It was pretty cool.
And that was that.
I wonder where we'll be next 4th of July.
God Bless America.
