I always like to remember what the 4th of July celebrates. I think Independence Day has a much nicer ring than "July 4th". It's incredible that so many people had the vision of what our country could be, and fought hard, giving up their livelihoods, families, and even very life for the sake of freedom. And I'm so grateful that we still have men and women who do that to this day. For those serving our country this minute over seas, thank you. Thank you for defending us and for being willing to make a stand for others who don't have a choice.
As you can see by my 3 posts today, my family is doing nothing celebratory. They strongly suggested I not take the kids to see fireworks, as they don't like loud noises any more than I did/do. So we're grilling hotdogs in a little bit. And my brother just got back with a friend--they picked up fireworks. So I'm planning to let the kids stay up for the "show" tonight.
The kids are wearing red white and blue. As am I. At least we're patriotic!
