Independence Day

We had a pretty chill day. Last summer we hit up a small town parade. About an hour or more south of us in Edmond, they have a huge celebration and I had wanted to go to a parade but I really wasn't in the mood for a large crowd and dealing with a baby as well. So instead we just ran some errands, rested, and got ready for a BBQ with some friends. 

We BBQed brats and burgers, had yummy flag cake and pretzel jello salad. I put Griffin down for bed and we all went out back for some sparklers. Kort didn't want to hold his own but enjoyed watching when he wasn't exploring around the yard. We then went in the front yard and put off some fountains. 

We weren't supposed to have them more than three feet tall inside city limits. Don't know how tall they'd get and frankly I don't know if we're considered in city limits since we're pretty much on the outskirts of town. Oh well, everyone was at the city fireworks anyway, which I didn't want to bother with. We were able to actually see them though through some trees! 

I think Kort was just really tired since he just sat still in my lap the whole time. It was a fun night. 

I'm thankful for the land that we live in, that we're able to worship as we please, for all those who fight for our freedom and to keep us safe everyday.
