Happy 4th of July!
I love the 4th of July. Today was a fun day. We hosted a BBQ at our house with Matt, Heidi and family, Sara, Mike and family, Grandma and Grandpa Frehner and Grandma and Grandpa Byington. I wish we had a bigger eating area because everyone was trying to balance their paper plate on couch cushions and their laps:)
We had a feast of brats, hot dogs for the kiddos, carne asada from the Mexican meat market (yummy), pasta salad, macaroni salad, potato salad, grilled corn on the cob and my amazing fruit trays that I got for $1.00 at Food 4 Less.
After grubbing on food we walked to Water Street for the City of Henderson fireworks show. It was good ten minutes of beautiful fireworks. After that, we watched our neighbor's illegal fireworks, hoping the roman candles wouldn't land on our roof anf torch our house. Finally, the "men" (Brad, Matt and Mike) lit our humble collection of pyrotechnics! I think the boys enjoyed the fireworks more than the kiddos!
We had a very fun day. We are grateful to live in a country where we have so many freedoms. In a time where people can be so negative about the country we live in, I am so thankful that our Heavenly Father preserved this nation to be the place where the gospel could be restored. We take so many things for granted, we are very lucky to be able to raise our little family and be so blessed. God bless the USA. We love America!
