The Fourth of July has to be one of my favorite holidays. Of all the wonderful freedoms that I enjoy in this country, my most precious is freedom of religion. It didn't always come easy in this nation. I will never forget the sacrifices my ancestors made for my family. So on Independence day we always start the day off with a ride in my Grandpa's model-t Ford. He has it decorated with flags. The kids all jump in and ride around the block from sun up to sun down.

This year we camped on Grandma & Grandpa Reed's property. They treated us to a BBQ and smores. The Reed's are serious about BBQ. It included 9 cases of pop. 4 different yummy meats to choose from and lots of other fantastic side dishes.
Max and Morgan and Grandpa Reed. Max's face looks like he is thinking "did you just see what Grandpa handed us?" Ruby fell asleep before the sun went down so she missed out on fireworks this year. We got up the next morning and had blueberry pancakes and bacon. Daryl always cooks when we are camping so I felt extra special being able to sit and eat with the kids.
Bayley with her cousin Keira. Keira is only 2 1/2 but is as tall as Ruby! She followed Bayley around most of the time. If Bayley sat down Keira insisted on being on her lap. I think Bayley was a little flattered by all the attention.
everyone a Happy Fourth of July.
