Can you believe that it’s July 4th, 2024 already? Summer is flying by at a quick pace. July 4th is a day that my family always looks forward to. We host a backyard barbecue and swimming pool party. We serve all kinds of great tasting food, drinks, swim and we have at least 5 different outdoor games set up in our backyard. That’s not including the swingset, sand box and stuff for the kids to do. It’s a day for a lot of fun and family bonding time.
Last weekend though…we took our kids to a local community center to listen to a talk about the birth of our nation and how July 4th, Independence Day came to be. Afterwards we headed to a local cemetery to place wreaths and flags on veteran’s graves. It’s always important to teach our kids at a very early age the TRUE history about our country and how they must show respect for our veterans. Freedom isn’t free and it always comes at a cost.
Anyway, Happy Independce Day! Hope you enjoy the time with your loved ones.
