Let Freedom Ring

Our 4th of July started with me loading three groggy children into the car for breakfast at the church at 8am. After a hearty meal of pancakes, eggs, sausage, and watermelon we hurried to Inkom for the parade. We were a little late and they had already blocked off the roads so we didn’t get to sit with our friends.




The kids loved the parade! Zane waved at everyone and held out his hands to catch all the candy. Morgan, being the pro, was super quick picking up the candy. But she was kind and always gave Zane a few pieces to put in the bag.





We ended the day with a BBQ with the neighbors and of course, a thunderstorm. Fortunately the storm did not last long and we were able to watch the fireworks on the beach.


It was a long, exhausting day but a great way to celebrate the freedoms that we so often take for granted.

What a great day! I'm thinking Morgan had the right idea though. I'm glad you made it to the breakfast, I always have to wake up my kids to get them there as well. But yummy food you don't have to cook or clean up always sounds worth it.
