Happy Fourth!

This is what we'll be doing today.

My Beloved just loves fireworks.  Every year for Father's Day we go down to a Firework tent a friend of ours has and he picks up a new load.

All of them

Several years ago we decided to include another family (with a young son) to join us when he lit them off.  It was so much fun that we did it again the next year, but we invited a handful of families.

Last year, we needed a new place to do our "show", so we talked to our church.  At the last minute plans were made and an email was sent out (with 2 days notice) that we'd be doing fireworks that Friday night at the church if anyone wanted to join us.  The pastor loved it so much he said he wanted to do it more "officially" this year.

And so here we are.  My Beloved's been working on the perfect show with a whole bunch of ground fireworks.  Should be more than 30 minutes long with a huge finale.  Now we're just waiting to see if we'll need that rain date.

These last couple weeks the kids and I have been reading about the colonists, the Revolutionary War, and the signing of the Declaration of Independence.  With all that's going on in our country these days, sometimes it's hard to get excited about celebrating it.  This year I'm excited to be celebrating our beginnings... and praying for our future!
