Happy Birthday America


Today our day started out rather early considering our sleeping schedule is all crazy from many late nights working on our house. We got up at 7:30 to get ready for the parade. We went to the Summerlin Parade along with Jim, My Mom and Jill. I haven't been to a 4th of July Parade since I was really little, and my kids have never been. It was a fun time. I normally am not as Patriotic during the rest of the year as I should be, but yesterday watching the parade many emotions came rolling in as I took a moment to realize what a wonderful country we are privileged to live in. I am thankful that I live in America and get to enjoy the many privileges and opportunities that I have. I also am grateful for the many men and women who have fought and are still fighting to protect this country so that me and my family can continue to enjoy this wonderful place. Later that evening we went to Hills Park to watch the Firework Show "from the car". After we went and got ice cream and called it a night.
