Good times on Independence Day

Oh, the 4th of July.  The fireworks.  The hot dogs.  The massive amounts of junk eaten (which is always awesome when on a diet).  Oh how I love you.  The 4th started out with us crashing the San Pasqual pancake breakfast.  We dressed the kiddos up in their cutest patriotic outfits and watched as they smeared watermelon and syrup all over them.  So, back to the house for a quick wash of clothes and a bottle:






And then on to Coronado Island for the usual 4th festivities. Each year my family, along with the Cima family, gets together with a whole bunch of people and BBQ on the grass right by Glorrietta Bay in Coronado.  However this year, the Cima's decided they were too cool for us and bailed.  So, it was up to the Lough/Powell's to take care of business.  We packed our crap and hauled our cookies down to the bay and set up our spot with the Dane Powell family, my parents, April, and The Parry family.  We had some good times.  There was food, a bike ride, playing in the sand, playing games, and of course, eating.  The twins were actually very good through most of the day, even with the disruption in the nap schedule.  They love all the attention they get from their cousins, so it keeps them happy.  They started to get cranky later and both ended up passing out DURING the fireworks.  How they slept through that, I won't ever know.  Here are some pics so show the awesomeness.  Some of these I stole from Tatum Powell since I suck at getting pictures of events.  Boo.
