Independence Day


Home again for the holiday this year! What a hot, busy, fun day! We started out at a pancake breakfast our Young Men were having to raise additional needed funds for their camp. Then headed over to Laurel for the parade. Some swimming at home to cool down. Teagan went over to her BFF friends Zoey's house for dinner and had her official first sleep over. It was Zoey's Birthday week and she really wanted Teagan to stay the night. Larry and Marcia came over for a BBQ dinner. Then we headed over to Castle Rock to listen to the music and watch the fire works. Our area of the country is having a super dry time. There are fires raging many places. Due to this there was a ban on personal fireworks this year. There was even a ban on the time you can mow your lawn during the day! People were very responsible about it surprisingly, when we went to bed around 12:00 it was silent, usually there are fireworks booming well past 1:30 or 2:00. 

I am so thankful for my freedoms in this beautiful country we live in. Its one of those things we all take for granted every day. In church today the talks were on our counties liberty. I do have a testimony that Heavenly Fathers hand was in the process of our country obtaining the rights we have here, which allowed his full gospel be brought to us, and for that I am truly thankful!
