4th of July

We had a great 4th of July. Our church has a great flag raising program in the morning. They raise the flag, have a military speaker, and a band to accompany a patriotic sing-a-long. Afterwards they have doughnuts or bagels and fruit. I played in the band this year! After that, we hung out with our friends. They have a trampoline with a hose spraying onto it. I forgot my camera, so, I didn't get pictures. Then we went to a potluck at our church. Following dinner, we went to our house with a bunch of other families and let off a whole bunch of fireworks. We had quite a few illegal fireworks going off in our neighborhood, so, we didn't feel like we had to go to the fairgrounds to see any big fireworks. Anyway, I'm grateful for our country and all the blessings we have here. Living in a military town has made me see how families, of those in the military, have to sacrifice having their loved ones gone. Hats off to you all.
