July 4th Fun

Eric was busy studying for boards after graduation but he was able to take a few breaks for us to enjoy the July 4th holiday weekend.  On Sunday, one of the Docs Eric worked with had a cookout at his house on the water in Severna Park.  The boys did some fishing, Hayden went out by himself on a kayak, and we took a long boat ride.  On Monday we met up with Wayne and Tammy who were still in town visiting his sister and family who lives in the area.  We all had dinner together before driving over to the Naval Academy Bridge to park and wait for the fireworks.  It was a great spot with a great view.  It rained a few times before the fireworks started but the skies cleared just in time for the show.  This was our first time as a family seeing fireworks for the 4th.  I was especially glad we were able to do it since we won't be in the U.S. to celebrate the 4th for two more years!  :)  Here are some pics from the our 4th fun...
