I don't know about all of you but the 4th of July is a big holiday for my family. We get together every year at my Mother & Father in-law's house for a pool party followed by the township parade & fireworks. It's fun to have all the cousins together for the day & they love going to the parade together. The kids look forward to it all year & truthfully....so do I! =)
I feel very privileged to have grown up in America...to be raising my kids in such a wonderful country. It is my honor to stand & salute our flag & our veterens as they walk by us in the parade. It gives me a great opportunity to teach my children the importance of being thankful for the freedom they enjoy & for the men & women who serve & protect our country. I hope they always remember that lesson. Our freedom is not guaranteed. It was fought for & won & now it is fought for & protected. I pray for our Armed Forces & I am thankful for the job they are doing that has protected us from any further attacks since 9/11. God Bless them for their sacrifice that is so easy to take for granted in our easy life here in the US.
Thank you for your service men & women of our Armed Forces! It is because of you & all that have gone before you that the United States is the greatest nation in the world.
God Bless the USA!!

LOL! Yeah, it was a few years ago but we've been rained out the last few years so it's the best pic I had. We got rained on yesterday but not rained out thank God! =) The kids had a blast! What did you guys do?
