Happy Independence Day!

We had a quiet day around the house for July 4th this year. Abigail was finishing her packing for camp tomorrow and wanted to hang out at home. So we swam with our buddies next door, made home-made ice cream, & barbecued. We took in the city fireworks from our front yard and had a few of our own. Luke fell asleep during the fireworks, even with all the booms.

Abigail being very cautious!!

Kayanna being Kayanna!

Some of our own fireworks!

Luke & Landon taking it all in.

Hope, Abs, & K K hanging out with the family.

The thing we learned is that our children didn't know what the 4th of July is about. When asked what the 4th of July was they informed us it was a day of home made ice cream, BBQ, & fireworks. Yeah, we do all that but "the why" of our celebrating they didn't know. Our freedom comes at a high cost and desire for our children understanding of this as they grow up.

Happy Independence Day!!!!
