Happy Birthday, America!

We spent our Fourth of July holiday at Chez Wills West, celebrating with Nana, Granddad and Auntie Meg, who was in town for the weekend. 

The morning started out at Bay Days, with the annual July 4th Bike Parade.

Wheeee!!

After Bay Days and a break for lunch, we went to the swimming pool. Ainsley impressed everyone with her aquatic prowess, such that it is at the tender age of 3 - jumping in without fear and going under the water without so much as a sputter. She might have gills under there somewhere...

I bet this is a LOT of FUN!

Very cool ride for the Peanut

It wouldn't be Independence Day without fireworks! Around 9:30 p.m., we trekked back to the park to get our usual spot beyond the outfield fence for the spectacular fireworks display.

Happy Fourth of July!
