America The Beautiful!

We celebrated the 4th of July with Cory's family this year. We went to the boondocks a place called Hooper to watch the parade. It was really nice because it wasn't huge and was over in about 20 min.
Next we went to Cory's sister's house for a big bar-b-que. MMMM MMMM Good! The kids played on a big blow up swimming pool that had a slide and spray guns on it. The grown ups sat around and talked. It was nice and relaxing.
We did fireworks later that night. The boys had a blast. Addie liked it until the fire works would make the loud noises. She did hold a sparkler though. The rest of the weekend was spent looking for houses and laying around.
It's sad that I'm always reminded how lucky we are to live in a free country when we celebrate the holiday's like the 4th or Memorial Day. But, I know that we are lucky and I'm so thankful that we have been able to be here in a country to worship, believe and do the things that we feel WE want to do. Thank you to all those that have served our country! I am indebted to you!!
HAPPY 4th of JULY!
