Grace and Audrey's Maryland cousins were also in town - they are staying with Granny and Grandpa for THREE weeks.
We went to the beach every day for about an hour and a half. Just enough time. Although the first day, I literally had to drag Grace home kicking and screaming..... but she really enjoyed playing in the sand and sitting at the water's edge. Got washed over by one wave while trying to boogie board with Quinn, and decided she wasn't the sporting girl type!
We also feasted on crabs - my favorite thing when we're in Florida!

Hmmm, how do I use these things?

Passing out the claws....

Another night, the kids all made pizza for dinner.

Future Food Network Stars.

And of course, we went to see the fireworks for the 4th!
It was a great visit. Grace loved hanging out with her big cousins and her Granny and Hapa.
The drive home was going even better then the ride down, in terms of length of time. But had an incident south of Atlanta where I had to slam on my brakes, and it caused my traction control system to kick in and do crazy things with my speedometer....... I got home safely, and took the car to the dealer this morning, and it turns out my transmission had overheated, so the incident was almost like a blessing in disguise. At least that's what I'm telling myself now....
