Sure there is always fussing about the kids being too loud and juggling bathroom schedules with so many people in one house, but our Lands End 4th is still my favorite family tradition. What is yours?

Lands End 4th
As we are a pretty young family we do not have many traditions yet. However, one tradition that we do have is July 4th at Lands End. I have spent July 4th at Lands End for the past fifteen years and I hope we are able to be there with our little family for many years to come.

There truly is nothing like it. We spend our long holiday laying in the sun, splashing in the surf, gathering candy at the parade, smelling the salt air, eating bushels of fresh seafood, porpoise viewing, watching sunsets over the water, enjoying fireworks across the ocean, scratching bug bites, taking long naps, gathering conch shells, spitting watermelon seeds, fighting over the last spoonful of Mom's macaroni salad, playing with fiddler crabs, burning food on the grill, taking moonlit walks on the beach, feeling the sea breeze, and sitting on the deck with family and friends.

I hope and pray it will always be a tradition with us and our family will always have the desire to be there. I look forward to it more than Christmas, probably because it is so informal. I so enjoy watching the boys learn to love the ocean life.
Well said. I love the picture!
