Happy Independence Day!



We had a great day celebrating our nation's birthday today! Faith thought we should have a birthday cake for our country's birthday, but we didn't have time for that due to other activities! Maybe next time.

This was the first year that we bought sparklers for the kids, and they had fun holding them, but I was a little nervous that someone might get hurt. Thankfully no one did!







It is so fun living in Indiana since fireworks are legal here. We just stay home and for at least a couple hours people all over the neighborhood shoot off hundreds of fireworks that we can see from our yard:














Everyone stayed out way past bedtime, the kids had fun riding up and down the street to get a closer look when neighbors would lauch fireworks from their driveways. Matt thought he'd join them riding one of the tiny kid-size bikes for awhile, he looked so silly!



GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!
