Summer Stock Sunday...4th of July...

Thank you Robin for hosting this fun Summer Stock. Please head on over to see what other fun summer photos are posted this week.


Yesterday we had fun at the 4th of July celebration at the Spring Lake pavilion here on Hilton Head island. It is a fun way for the community to come together to celebrate every year. Fireworks start at dark and are a perfect way to end a fun filled day.


Spring Lake pavilion is all decorated for the 4th!



The parade begins for the children to show off the bike decorations. The children march around the circle wearing their 4th of July red white and blue colors.



Isn't this little one cute wearing a flag and some beads?



Young families come to the 233rd celebration of this great nation.



The community joins together to remember our service men and women who make this all possible by helping to keep us free.



Lot's of fun games for the children in and around the pavilion.
What little one can resist a game where the prize is a goldfish?



Duck Pond game is perfect for the toddler generation.



Hot dogs, pizza, watermelon, soda and baked goods were available for lunch.
Cotton candy was a big hit for young and old.
Provided by the local dentists.
Just joking about the dentists!


Let the Pie Eating contest begin between the boys and the girls.
These boys were having so much fun eating those delicious pies.



Remember sharing special summer time fun with your best friend?



Who can resist a pie throwing competition?
Of course all the boys wanted to volunteer and the girls could not wait to toss those whip cream pies!


GOD BLESS AMERICA!

  9. I'm not sure sticking my head through a paper wall to have a pie throwing competition is my idea of the perfect celebration but I do enjoy looking at the photo - and all the other shots who tell the story of a happy day
