{weekend photos}

Growing up in Huntington Beach, the 4th of July is a BIG deal.  We usually spend the day riding bikes around the parade, BBQ-ing, lounging by the pool and then watching the fireworks on the beach.  On top of all that, this year we also got to go to an early 4th of July celebration on Saturday in Venice Beach at our friend's neighborhood block party.  Here are a few photos from the weekend:
