Independence Day Celebration

 
Currently
Empire Falls

For the last 17 or so years or longer my mom's side of the family has gathered at grandpa's beach house in Port O'Connor, Texas, to watch the annual Independence Day firework display.  Hundreds of families flood to this tiny coastal town and park along the grassy shore and play in the sand and shallow water awaiting the show.  Grandpa's beach house is only one street off of the water so we can sit on his second story porch in porch swings and watch the fireworks while eating hot dogs. 

I was thinking that if America was a church then we like sheep all partake in communion each July 4rth as we break open the hot dog bun... 




   













Here are a few pictures from two years ago at Grandpa's beach house:
