4th of July!

Beach years with all the cousins

Mark, Katie, and Colton

Colton and Sulley enjoyed their first 4th of July! Greg already told me that next year he wants to dress them in coordinating red, white, and blue outfits and put star shaped sunglasses on them and take our Christmas card picture.  Maybe we'll even take them to Pawleys Island for the annual 4th of July parade and take our picture there.  Being at the beach over the 4th when you're young was the best! We used to go every year with the entire Beard/Shayda family and would always spend the 4th together. (see first picture above)  

This year, Colton and Sulley spent their first 4th with Aunt Martha and Uncle Paul, cousin Mark and his fiance, Katie. (At least we had part of the ole Beach crowd!)  We spent the rest of the long weekend hanging out with family and friends, eating crabs, eating more crabs, and watching fireworks.
