This year’s celebration of Independence Day was a blast, in more ways than one.

Sierra has been studying about Independence Day, and she knew the reasons for July 4. Of course, some of the information permeated onto her sisters in more or less accurate ways. And then, towards dusk, with more frequent calls for something to do other than play with their stuff in their living room, or outdoors in the Jungle Gym, it was time for the fun stuff: A weiner and marshmallow roast!

What a great day it was, surrounded by our daughter and her wonderful family! We are truly blessed!!!
