Sharing some Fourth of July photos today :)
The holiday weekend (July 2nd) will always be a celebration of Walt!
Church, brunch and Cars 3, to celebrate the birthday boy!
On July 3rd, the country club had a family Fourth of July party...
Waiting for fireworks over the greens...
Such a wonderful show!!
On July 4th, we started the day with a morning trip to the zoo with the sweetest new friends and neighbors...
It was wet and kind of yucky, not a day we would typically visit the zoo. But the company was extra special, and maybe one of my favorite days thus far. My heart was grateful for the time with them.
After the zoo and naps, we started preparing for our family to come for food and fireworks...
Troy grilled burgers and everyone brought a side (or two or 3!?), which made for a Fourth of July feast...
A week later, we did Fourth of July, round 2! We were unable to be with Sam, Jason and Abby on the fourth, which (other than Houston), was the first in maybe 15 years!?
And that just wouldn't do.
So we went shopping for a few more sparklers and small fireworks and celebrated again....
And that was our 4th : )
I have my own thoughts and convictions on the subject... with of course, more questions than answers. Like many, I'm disheartened by so much that I see.
But even on its worse day, I'll still fly our flag high. Because despite the ugliness around it... it's still beautiful to me. Freedom....opportunity.... ability.....and despite what it may seem...liberty. The flag is a reminder of all that we have been given in this great homeland.
Still....
America, the beautiful.
