4th of July

I absolutely love July!  Simply for the many things that epitomize summer, being an American, and sharing time with family.  I love family barbecues, local parades, hot dogs on the grill, warm taffy, running through sprinklers, lighting sparklers with my kids, celebrating this amazing country, and honoring those who fight for us, and who came before us.

There's nothing better than . . .

Waiting for the parade to start, breathless with the anticipation of how much loot you're going to catch this year, 



Beating out the kids sitting next to you for that "just one more" piece of prized taffy . . .



Finding the princess float (reminds you a little bit of that dog on "Up" . . . SQUIRREL!!!) . . . 



Snuggling the puppy (the one you've always wanted but never pushed your wife into getting) at her first parade (the puppy's, not the wife's) . . .



Or thanking those that make all this possible.



God Bless America!
