Happy Independence Day

The 4th of July was a really great event this year! It fell on a Sunday so we were able to attend Church and remember to be grateful for the freedoms that we enjoy. We had a relaxing afternoon to ourselves before heading over to grandma's house for a family BBQ. There was great food, great company, and good times had by all. Even though the weather was a bit chilly for it being July, we had tons of fun being outside and lighting off fireworks. Each of us had bought a few small packs of fireworks; which the kids absolutely loved! Someone even had several of the "larger" ie less than legal ones. Those were awesome! I had never been that close to fireworks like that, and it was well worth keeping the kids up til 10:45 to see! Happy 4th of July to everyone!
