So the family loaded up two cars and headed to the mountains. We drove out by the ranch to start off our trip. Then we headed to McCall where we had a nice late lunch at Lardo's. We then headed to the beach and the weather could have been better. It was a bit cool to be swimming, but the kids all went in for a bit. We decided that we liked being right there where they were loading the fireworks, so we parked it until the evening. We did walk around town and stopped at the chocolate factory and ate ice cream at Ice Cream Ally. I have to say that the fireworks were so good where we were at. I was very impressed!

Probably don't have to say much here. The picture speaks for itself!
Love those American Flags!
Look at this cute couple!
They are loading the fireworks!
Nap time before all of the festivities.
This little gal and Kali struck up a friendship. They were the firework cheerleaders, and yes, they started cheers wanting the fireworks. ![](http://bp1.blogger.com/_NgeBwmQceMw/SHVnNe3Zf1I/AAAAAAAAADk/AzJRnLaxB0w/s0-d/262559-R1-10-11A_filtered_blog.jpg)

HAHAHA....so, she didn't bring a blanket to sit on. The younger couples had one, so she improvised. Miss smarty pants!
Awwww...isn't she purty?
Do you like Alfalfa's hair, I mean Kenneth's? Paul managed a back flip off the dock. Kenneth....well, he chickened out!
Awwww...what a CUTE couple!
Bubba and the little one getting use to the water.
This was a group effort. They all decided to help Kali out.
Yes, these are the gangster couples! They look pretty dang good if you ask me:)

Bubba decided he would help his big sis get out into the deep end. She didn't want any part of it. He was nice and took her back!
Here's Miss Kali shivering!
