Let Freedom Ring!
We celebrated the fourth by participating in a kids parade in the neighborhood of our friends Holly and Monte. The kids decorated their mode of transportaion (wagons, strollers, bikes, battery powered cars) with red, white and blue. We waited for more then 30 minutes to finally get the show on the road. We walked for more than a mile to the finale. The walk felt great, one giant hill and 90 degree weather. Who could ask for anything more. Not to brag or anything.....ha ha...but I did better than most of the nonpregnant people. Holly kept turning around and making sure I hadn't gone into labor (I only have two weeks left). After arriving at our destination, we enjoyed the luxery of the swimming pool, each others company, and a yummy lunch. Thanks Erritt's for the invite.
After a relaxing afternoon....basically doing nothing, Michael and quickly readied the house for our annual 4th of July Celebration. We enjoyed the company of about 20 people. We grilled burgers and hot dogs, enjoyed each others company, and watched the spectacular Legacy Park fireworks display. It was great! Riley Jack loved the fireworks, and except for covering his ears, he wasn't afraid at all. Thanks friends for a great evening.
The fourth of July......fireworks, watermelon, summer, friends.......patriotism, sacrifice, loyality. These are words which to me define the 4th of July. I love to drive around and look at the displays people embellish their homes with. The bunting, the flags, the red, white, and blue. It reminds me of how truely blessed we are. How MUCH we take for granted. If we lived somewhere other than The United States of America would we cherish our freedoms more?
