July Fourth

As the kids and I continue to study American History, July 4rth has so much more significance. As I sat and watched the fireworks last night and sang patriotic hymns in church this morning...it made me ponder our forefathers, the men who fought for our freedom and the blood that has been shed to keep it. Not to mention those who still fight today to ensure freedom...one can never say thank you enough to all of those soldiers who have given up so much for our country yesterday and today.

Our family celebrated the fourth with a visit to the beach in the morning. We then spent the remainder of the day with family. We swam, grilled out, watched fireworks, played with sparklers and overall enjoyed time as a family. It was a fun, full day and one we all enjoyed and will talk about as traditions of things our family does.
Until next time...
