We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. I hope and pray that our country will remain the Land of the Free. 4th of July has been one of my favorite holidays in my life. It's usually synonymous with being with friends and family, good food, being outside, and ending with beautiful fireworks. This year I didn't have to work and we spent the day with friends on their lake. It was my first wakeboarding of the year, Doug water-skii'd, we did a little tubing, pontoon rides, and shared delicious food. We didn't stay for the fireworks as that was past the kiddos bedtimes, but we had a great time and actually saw a lot of fireworks on our drive home.
This year one of my favorite holidays was spent at work, wahh wahhhh. Well at least I get time and a half.
The place where we had our wedding hosted a fireworks festival on the 3rd so we went over there with my sister and brother-in-law.
They had advertised food trucks, which ended up being a Big Boy truck and coney island. Lame! I was imagining these eclectic food options. We we had food and sat on a lawn blanket, listened to some live music, August enjoyed this toy area and tried to jump in one of those bounce houses.
Then Doug took him home to bed so I could stay and watch the fireworks with Elizabeth and Johnny, it was nice.
The next day I worked and Doug took August to his friend's for a pool party, BBQ hangout. After work I met them for a few minutes then took August home to bed so Doug could stay and watch his friend's fireworks show. It was a good trade off. His friend has put thousands into this Jeep, it is a monster! Maybe August will grow up to be a Jeep lover like daddy.
We are thankful to live in the land of the free and the home of the brave!
