Claire had the great idea of being the Statue of Liberty for July 4th. We won the Seabrook porch contest and how could we not with such a great statue. (Also, our neighbor Greg said he stuffed the ballot box with votes for Claire.) There were so many pictures taken of her that I'm sure they will be posted in several places. It was so fun. The prize was $100.00 gift certificate to the cafe. Also bragging rights for the next year.
We are having a great 4th with Charles and Mary, Bill, the Fifes (minus Carmen) and David and the boys. Last night we went down to the beach for fireworks (Uncle John bot the BEAST at the bomb shack). It was unbelievable what was going on down there. There were so many fireworks. It looked like Taholah was blowing itself up or at least expending a month's pay in moments. The kids kept shouting "Unleash the Beast" in unison to egg John on with his mortars.David and the boyz left around 7 this morning (7/5). Claire will miss her little pack but will likely find replacement playmates ASAP.
Congratulations on your porch victory! Claire looks quite authentic in the picture but I have a hard time imagining her as still as a statue. The 4th just kind of went right on by around here...
