4th of July
Happy 4th July everyone. It is such a blessing to live in this country. What a wonderful blessing to live in freedom. Happy 233rd birthday America!
We celebrated this Independance Day simply. We slept in due to the wonderful darkness created by the rain. We had a fantastic BBQ lunch with Jay's mom and half-sister. Later in the afternoon since the sun had come out my daughter convinced me to get in the pool with her. The experience could only be called CHILLING! The water was 68 degrees and while she was swimming and doing all kinds of flips in the water, I only stood there trying not to become a popsicle. When I could stand no more we came in for leftovers for dinner and got ready to go out to see fireworks.
Someone seemed to have lost their mind this year and all of our local firework displays happened last night! Whoever heard of shooting of 4th of July fireworks on the 3rd of July!!! Luckily we found this out before we drove out to see them. So we decided to end the 4th of July sitting on the couch with homemade brownies and watching the Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular.
Hope your 4th of July has been great. Don't forget to thank God for the blessing of living in this great country.
