The Fourth, 2009

Hope everyone had a wonderful Independence Day!! We did! We visited some friends who have a cottage on the Gulf in Cedar Key, FL. It's a tiny fishing village right on the water. We boated out to a remote uninhabited island and hung out while the men folk set sail to catch some dinner! (Which they did---Tim even caught a shark, and doggone it if I didn't get a picture of that!)
The kids had a blast just hanging out on the island, and tried to catch some fish of their own, with poles or nets. If you look around in the background, it just looks like old Florida. Palm trees and lots of spanish moss....pretty cool! Anyway, we ended the day with a cookout and watching the fireworks go off over the water. Loved it!
Casting the net...the two older boys were very serious about being fishermen!

Brooks was in his zone! He LOVES this kind of stuff!

Brooks didn't catch anything in the cove where he fished...lost his bait a few times, though...notice the color of the ocean. Very weird. Almost looked like blood! Kinda gross, but they said it had to do with the outflow of a couple of rivers.

Beautiful Miss Cams. It almost looks like an Indian could jump out of the brush behind her!

This is my favorite pic of the day. Who doesn't love to see two brothers fishin' away? Love those boys!

Definitely a different fourth of July than we had, you don't have to worry about dry foliage catching on fire! Looks like such fun, even if you didn't have George W. in attendance :)
