A Grand Old Fourth


 * I stole ALL of these fabulous pictures off my sister Lindy's blog.  Thanks for your awesome photography skills!
 We started our 4th with a children's bike parade which took us to the Jo City park.  There were booths and games and food galore!  I want to spend every 4th of July in Jo City, Arizona!














 Pony rides, being with family, and an ice cream contest!  We were all in our own little paradise!

 Then after a ton of fun at the park, Jane took a much needed nap and the older kids went and smashed pennies on the tracks.  Grandpa is such a good example.
   
 
Then for the grand finale, we went to Derron and Cat's house for a Fourth of July feast.  This house was once my great grandparent's house, Nunna and Pumpa.  My Aunt Cat has revived it into a sweet little chic cottage, full of charm and a sense of the past.
 
Proof of where she gets her craziness from.
Oh, what a blessed day, full of family and fun.  I am so grateful to live in the USA, were freedom and opportunity, life and liberty, are given to everyone.   I pray that will always be what we stand for.
