4th of July - Fireworks & Boat Ride

Ryan was in town for the 4th of July, so we made plans to see the annual fireworks display at Festival Park in "downtown Manteo" (I always still laugh to myself when folks use those two words together). Joe and Evette invited us aboard their pontoon boat to get a view from the bird's seat, so we made an evening of it.








Ryan and I prepare to have a race...

Naturally, Ryan won by a landslide. Wait a tic... did I mention it was one of those "Ryan's Rules" races? Hmmm...

Joe had Ryan blast the air horn as we went under the bridge in Manteo. It was loud enough for all of us to cringe. Of course, Ryan's finger slipped accidentally and it was discharged a second time.

The canal directly behind Senator Basnight's (NC) home on Roanoke Bay. Did I mention the good Senator lives maybe a half-mile from our home? Still haven't met him yet...

Evette chilling.

Shortly after snapping this photo, I made sure to bundle Sherry up tightly in her life preserver.

Spalding. What is this photo doing here? I don't know.

The monsters distribute their drool amongst passing vehicles.
