Fourth of July

I haven't blogged in a year! We had a great Fourth of July and cooked out at home. That night we watched the fireworks with our neighbors in our backyard. The city's fireworks are clear and great from our own house.

The kids love the Fourth. We did "popits" and sparklers after the fireworks. The girls painted their nails red, white, and blue and, of course, everyone proudly wore their Fourth shirts!

I know we are blessed to live in a country that gives us so much. Our country isn't perfect, by far, but it still would be where I would choose to raise my children and live. America IS beautiful!
