We had a fun afternoon riding our bikes from Brookhurst to Main St. in Huntington Beach. That's 6 miles roundtrip...and Gracie rode her bike the whole way. We got to see some characters from Star Wars at the pier...

It was a great day. We started off with a bike ride to the Claremont Independence Day Carnival. Had lunch in the Downtown Claremont Village. That night we went to the Forsee's for our traditional 4th of July Party...

| Having a great time on the 4th of July. By the way, Karen made the kids' shirts and her own outfit. She also made gluten free watermelon cookies and homemade/homegrown peach salsa for the party. I made stuffed jalapeños wrapped in bacon. |
