we headed down south (indeed there is a south of miami) and spent the 4th with a friend. the pool was splashed in. elisha loved the swimming noodles. asher chilled under a palm tree. mama chilled with a book and a little something during nap time.

the yard and pool – oh my was it beautiful. it seemed like a world apart from miami. we tried to find a fruit stand selling lychees but the season was over. next year.

the house had cable so we all became just a touch addicted to the the next food network star marathon that ran into the evening. all in all a great 4th. the sun was shining so bright that i figured i would just ignore the fact that there is a swirling tropical storm in the atlantic. bertha – sounds ominous, doesn’t it?
