4th of July in Maryland

What a BLAST !!! It's always fun to be with family for the holidays. Tim did a great job with the BBQ and Kandice with all the yummy trimmings. Tim enjoyed the dinner with a box of crabs that he shared with his brother, Matt and Laura (Matt's friend). The rest of us like the taste of crab meat, but are not interested in working that hard to get passed the "insides" for a little taste of meat! Must be an East Coast thing! Jackson enjoyed the pool, running around and yet not too sure of the fireworks that Tim demonstrated for him. Tyler mostly slept and didn't seem to concerned about the days' events. We watched it rain, the music program from The Mall and the BIG Fireworks display from the TV screen. Beats the crowds, metro ride. . . always better to have a comfy seat at home. We finish out this week in South Carolina and then we are headed home!

Baseball and Fireworks

Tuesday evening we went to the River Dogs baseball game. The team is Class A affiliated with the New York Yankees and they played at the stadium called "The Joe".


This was Ray's action shot. He loved the play and the runner was safe.

We imposed on a nearby fan to take our picture. We had great seats--just to the right of home plate on row 7. You could see every pitch, no sun in our eyes and the fireworks were right in front of us. Not too bad for getting online on Monday to buy tickets.

The weather was so great that it was hard to imagine they could really have conditions like this. Since we arrived in SC, it has been in the low 90's, humidity the same and rain. Tues. was 90, breeze blowing, humidity down in the 60's, and beautiful sunset.


The fireworks were set to great American music and as always lots of fun to watch.

We are headed to Kandice's Thurs. morning for the July 4th weekend. We hope you all have a great holiday and I'm sure we'll be sharing grandkids' pictures of the weekend.
