I felt like we had a 4th of July weekend! We had fireworks on the 3rd, parade, BBQ and ball park activities on the 4th, and tomorrow is a rubber duck race down the creek. haha!
This was one of the best 4th's I've had. Although Bryan had to work on the 4th I hung out with some sweet members from the branch and felt like part of the community. I felt very touched watching parade and the sweet military veterans walk down main street holding the American flag proudly. I even got a little choked up (silly time I know).
I was just very grateful to celebrate Independance Day and our freedom to live in this country.
Okay, picture time :)

| My morning couldn't start any better than a messy faced little boy |
 |
| Watching the fire trucks at the Parade |
 |
| That about summed up the Parade. Truly :) It was tiny, but also great to see the community out together! |
 |
| Quarters are hidden in the bark chips and kids dig for them. They have been doing this since Bryan was little |
 |
| Fun little booths, games, and kid races |
 |
| This wiggly boy wouldn't sit still long enough for a picture, but he was patriotic! |
 |
| Excellent food and and excellent view |

Mr E. going to town on watermelon!
What a great day!! |
i love the pictures and the feeling of community togetherness. yes, i understand about getting a little choked up with patriotic songs, parades, uniforms, and the flag but it means a lot and represents so much work and sacrifice i don't just take it as granted freely. dinner looked amazing and the plate composition of color, texture, arrangement could easily have been a picture straight from a magazine. but you made it all! what a super cook you are. love this blog to follow you even though we are miles apart.
