We had a fun and busy 4th of July weekend, in PA and Richmond!
The weekend kicked off with a party at Gulph Mills Golf Club. Sand traps make great playpens!
Especially when there's a rake!
Playing with Nanny.
Sisters.
Having so much fun.
Nanny and Pop enjoying the festivities.
John channeling Ansel Adams with some great fireworks pictures.
The next morning we waited anxiously for the start of the 4th of July parade.
The wagon was all decorated and ready to ride in the "decorated vehicle" category in the parade.
Entry D-5 was sure to be a winner!
Getting some help making the turn from Nanny.
We were not selected as a winner, but a pony ride helped soften the blow.
Time for some games and a hot dog.
Mary Beth gets ready for the peanut race.
Getting the hang of it!
This is hard work!
MB gets some help from neighbor Will.
We capped off the weekend with Sean's birthday party back in Richmond.
Its incredibly difficult to get all of the kids in a picture!
MB dragged Will along to check out all the animals.
We stopped to feed the giraffes.
And took a ride on the train!
On Saturday night we went to a block party.
MB had so much fun dancing to the band.
And hiding under tables.
Pinching Mom is always funny.
Pretty girl.
Saying goodnight to friend Sean.
All ready to hit the beach.
She loved chasing the 'eagulls....
And splashing in the water.
John took this picture after a much needed storm.
We spent some time at the near by playground.
We also hit the mini-golf course.
Much easier to drop the ball in the cup. Forget the putter.
John and MB built lots of sandcastles.
Nanny helped Mary Beth jump the waves.
Wheeeeeeee!
So much fun splashing in the ocean.
We found lots of sea creatures like hermit crabs and conch!
And some creatures on land, too!
Dinner out for the grownups.
The whole clan.
Hallett fam. 
MB hanging out in Aunt Weez's room and putting on her makeup!
Especially when there's a rake!
