Happy Fourth of July!

Today is all about the Fireworks, right?



Well, no. Not really. Although I do love fireworks. "Whizzzzz-BANG-cracklecrackle... 'Ooooooh!'"

Today is Independence Day, the day we celebrate our country's independence from Great Britain. Our forefathers fought hard and some even gave their lives to give us a better future, free from oppression. Liberty.




Keep that in mind while you're out enjoying the hot dogs, hamburgers, cotton candy, potato salad, sparklers, and fireworks! :)

We will be going to our friend's house for a cook-out and then light sparklers afterwards. I'll try to get a few pictures of those... we actually found some rainbow ones at Publix this year! :)

Blessings to all and... HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!
