Happy 4th of July
This is one of my favorite holidays....I have such fond memories of the 4th growing up in a small town. We would be awoken by a loud cannon going off in town starting the day off with a BANG!
Everyone would head to the main ball field and we would have sack races, water balloon tosses, potato on the spoon races etc...The Mom's would do rolling pin throwing contest and the Dad's would play horseshoes. The afternoon would end with the all-star baseball game and a day of hot dogs, soda and candy, swimming! I think there was a parade in there somewhere....and a firework display to dazzle us all.
Today is also a day to celebrate our country, to stand tall and wear the colors of our nation. To honor those who fight for our freedom and remember those who lost there lives for our freedom. It's a day where your Patriotism is abundant and proud.
Have a safe, fun and glorious fourth of JULY!

Happy 4th of July..hope you had a wonderful day :)
SO, SO small town, we wondered over to the field for the 25 cent burgers, saw your sisters and Kevin playing in the "traditional" base ball game... just wonderful to sit in the grandstand and see familiar faces, and our "small" town still does the BEST firework display - so "Mayberry" like... my son said on the morning of the 5th... it's the easiest day for every house to be broken into... every cop is monitoring the fireworks, EVERY sould in town is watching them and we all leave our house wide open!!! PS... I'm alsmost ashamed to say we have the rolling pin throwing contest, but I just "let it go"... Have a GREAT family holiday together..one of these days I will get to meet you!
