4th of July Weekend at the Pass.

As usual, we spent 4th of July weekend at the beach house. Here is a family friend, Rachel, hanging out with a Pipevine Swallowtail. The butterfly was having trouble and kept landing in the water for some reason.

 Another family friend, Mike, brought this waterslide for the kids to play in. They loved it...obviously.

 Crawfish season is coming to an end, but there are enough bugs for one more boil!

Taven did not feel well on Friday, but he still managed to try out the slide.

And smile for a picture.

Not only was it the 4th of July, but it was also our buddy Aidan's birthday! He brought a pinata!

We bought him a kite for his present.

Mirek loves sitting on the edge of the pier. I was sure I would have to go in after him at some point, but I never did.

Aidan's mom brought glow necklaces and bracelets for everyone!

We sang Happy Birthday and watched fireworks.

Cousins hanging out.

My brother's daughter, Hannah.

Pelican landing!

It is hard to get all of the kids together for a picture. We are missing four here but it was the best that we could do.

A friendly Katydid.

Thankfully, Taven felt better on Saturday.

My sister and nephew Weston.

The fisherman.

I had to get in on the sno-cone action.

"Can I use live bait Mama?"

Family friend and fisher extraordinaire, Kevin, caught a boatload of flounder. We had a fish fry Saturday night.

We saw two waterspouts on Sunday morning. The first dissipated before I could get a picture and the second was pretty faint.

Only one more weekend left at the beach house this summer. Whaaahhh!
