Land of the Free

Our cul-de-sac threw its first Fourth of July block party this year. We have so many kids on our street, mostly all boys, and they had so much fun. A neighbor went so far as to paint the kids hair, do face paint, decorate their bikes and put on a little parade with them. Those kids were outside all day long. I feel very blessed that we are able to live in this community, we have found a great church family, wonderful schools, and so many new friends in this town. I think we will stay! Happy Fourth of July....

Here we are lined up around the corner from our house waiting for the fireworks to start. The lake across the street was packed with thousands of people, our town does its own fireworks show every year. Look at Nick trying to read his bible in the dark!

Starting the day the right way, with lots of sugar.

I love spun sugar. Look away.
