4th of July Celebration

I was celebrating my very first 4th of July as a citizen of the United States with hubby and friends by the beach. We drove all the way to San Pedro since the host live nearby the area. We arrived around 12:30pm and oh boy.... the place is packed with people probably around 20,000 people in the state beach. Good thing is they don't allow alcohol. Filipino food was great, we had variety of delicious food in the table. Had fun meeting the people that I know again and counting new friends. My husband and I set-up our canopy in the sand and he was relaxing and reading under our canopy. Thanks God even the windy is about 30-40mph our canopy survived. The sun was up because of the wind it feels a bit cold when you're in the shade. Laughter and dancing and we all are having fun and of course including all the husbands. We had games and I am on the blue team and going strong *wink. We won the sack race and beat the pink team, yeah! I had a bad feeling that I am going to have body ache when I get home because of the activities going on in the afternoon. I remember my teen years again, spending time outdoor with friends, playing games and having fun.

Early evening a few hours before the fireworks, good thing we dropped off our stuff in the car first and came back to the beach to watch the fireworks. Took a few pictures with friends to remember the fun we had during 4th of July. Fireworks starts at 9pm so we still have a lot of time to eat, talk, laugh, dance and more pictures taking.... Though soon we gonna have laugh lines at least this shows that we are happy, right?

Fireworks were amazing and beautiful. We sat on the bench watching the flakes of fire dancing in the sky and listening to the loud sound of celebration. The fireworks ran around 20-30 minutes after that people are starting to get moving because of the crazy traffic they don't want to be stuck for hours and so do we. Say goodbye to friends with a hug.

It was another successful 4th of July celebration.

Happy Birthday America!!!
