Our Independence Day

     I know this is a bit late, but HAPPY 4th of JULY!!!  We arrived home from our mountain trip just in time to go to bed and wake up for another FUN filled day!  I love the 4th and for the past 15 years we've been celebrating it in our own backyard.  Our little community started a July 4th tradition back in the late 90's that includes a Pancake Breakfast at our church to benefit our Youth Programs, a Parade down 2 of our main roads, music, rides, food, a street dance and fun for the whole family including an awesome fireworks show to end the day.  From our house we can see the fireworks really good, so we always have family and friends over for homemade ice cream and fireworks.  It is truely one of my favorite times of the year!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!!!
