Andrea and Brian's party - the firework

Few days ahead of the 4 of July, we managed to have our own firework with all legal devices.

Red wine is very much in fashion at the aptos creek vineyard (http://www.aptoscreekvineyard.com/).



The kids got to play with the firework as well.


Lucas is already sleeping not impressed by the firework.

Andrea watching after her Zahara which does not appreciate all this noise.

4th of July at Seabright Santa Cruz

The 4th of July firework is held at the Seabright beach at Santa Cruz. Since Santa Cruz does not have any official firework for the past 10 years or more. So instead, people converge to the beach where the most famous and scary firework take place.

Don (Claire's former HP colleague) invited us for a barbecue before the 4th of July firework.
