Celebrating Independence

Our church has an annual Fourth of July picnic the Saturday before the 4th. We went this year and it was a lot of fun. Although I took my camera, it seems I didn't pull it out even once. 

I had the great fortune to be one of the judges for the dessert competition. Let me just say, these folks know how to make some sweet treats!

Some friends invited us for a mid-week celebration on their boat for the 4th. Their boat sits in the bay right on top of the site of the city fireworks display.

Here's a little glimpse of our celebration:
