We had lots of fun taking in all of the Island's festivities. Everyone was dressed in red, white, and blue. The island has a small village at the southern tip with restaurants, shops, etc. This is where we found an arts and crafts show under the oaks with lots of goodies for sale, including William's rubberband gun and Lily's hippy headband. This is also where we found a pizza place with a gluten-free pizza. It was delicious!
In the morning, the island has a golf cart parade, which we missed, but caught remnants of throughout the day. We ended the day by watching what we could see of the fireworks display over the ocean, from the pier. We only got within about a half a mile of the show. Lily is very afraid of the noise, so she sat in the van with one of us at a time, while the rest of us peeked at the fireworks through an opening in the trees. It was really fun and by the end of the show, Lily had even taken her hands off of her ears.
