The 4th of July. What a wonderful day for our nation. A day when so many come together to celebrate...without the division of my thoughts vs yours. We are one nation under God.
Where else in the world do you have the RIGHT to LIFE, LIBERTY, and the PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS? You gotta love America.
And yes, there are many things you don't have to love about it, but the reality is its just a great country, founded on principles so strong, faith and hope are at their root.
We celebrated our country's birthday in a rather quiet manner this year.
We started our day with Mass. A Marine carried in the American Flag while we sang the National Anthem. Then, once Mass started, we sang a multitude of beautiful patriotic hymns - what a wonderful way to start our day!
And it was a day.... full of life, liberty, and the pursuit of fireflies...its simple but its happiness.

Red, White and Blue...
Sparklers? Really?
This may not be too bad....
Can we do this every day? (yes, she asked for sparklers for a couple more days!)
And the fireflies....
The end of the day.
We hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July!
