Hancocks Roll: the wb & granny myrtle

so we went to the beach with my sweet granny myrtle over the fourth of july. i love to throw a party and decorate and i learned everything i know from granny myrtle. she brought tons of 4th of july decor - hats, streamers and the like. not only that but she had each great grandchild a red, white and blue outfit. so amazing. well i got stuck/lucky and had to wear a headband with stars that stuck up and had ribbons trailing down...very becoming. and oops i don't have a picture of me in it. these will have to do.

granny and the girls in their beautiful dresses (and hat)

hallie and cousin cole (he had yet to put his festive shirt on)

dad - playing corn hole in his hat (he brought his own 4th of july shoes...)

well the folks in the house next to us had a for real party. tents, band, caterer and thousands of dollars of illegal fireworks! it was by far the best display i have ever seen. not to mention we were 20 ft from the dock where they shot them off. our lives were in danger every fifth firework when they came sailing our way - but other than that amazing. my whole family pulled chairs out to the waters edge and sat there with our jaws dropped. except of course for our kids who were inside sobbing about all the loud noises.

look at this dock! i did not zoom in with my camera. we were right there!

so fun seeing the reflection in the water!

ghost crab times (this is before it made noah bleed)

sea urchin bryan pulled off the bottom of an old crab trap - in all my years at wb i have never seen one in the sound before. i knew they were there - just never stumbled upon one.
