We just got back from being on the island for a week. We spent the first part of the week celebrating the 4th of July with my parents and sister. We went to the Fire Department's Annual Pancake Breakfast. George, being all the boy that he is, loved the firetrucks.
Then we went to Magnolia's current favorite place on earth, Sand Dune Park. We played in the sand, ran down the dunes, and put lots of sand in our mouth.
Later that evening we went to the island parade. It is a wonderful parade and all of 5 minutes long. A couple of firetrucks, a whole lot of kids on decorated bikes, and a handful of candy. Who needs anything more than that? The kids loved it. We went home and saw some distant fireworks from the deck. It was a great day!
The following 4 days were filled with nonstop rain. Our company left and we were starting to feel incredibly restless. There isn't a darn thing to do or go when it rains on the island. I thought I would go crazy! Good news came to us though. We get to close earlier than we thought on our new house. Five days and counting!
