Fireworks + beach + puppy = happy

Well, we had a lovely July Fourth this year. My brother and sister visited, played with and got licked by the puppy, and left just in time for Mike's mom and sister to go and watch the fireworks with us on the beach right by our house. It was a much smaller show than the Boston one we're used to, but you really can't beat the beach view and the relaxation of not having to deal with traffic, trains, etc.

Here's my brother bonding with Nyxa:
