the 4th of july is such a fun holiday with great plans. spending time with family from out of town. going to the lake. eating lots of yummy food. including watermelon and homemade ice cream. and homemade apple pie. decorating the float for the parade in your hometown. getting teary eyed duringthe playing of "I'm Proud to be an American". swimming. laughing with old friends. watching fireworks.
what a great way to honor our country and the freedoms we have.
someone recently said they feel our country is forgetting what it means to be an American, and how we became a free nation. and we are slowly, generation by generation, losing what it truly means to proud of the united states of america. i could not agree more. this is a scary thing.
so i pledge that i will never forget. i will teach kylee to stand and to put her hand on her heart. tell her about her great-grandfathers who fought for our freedom. to have pride in our hearts for our land. to respect the flag. and that it's a privilege to live in AMERICA.
happy independence day from our "American" hearts to yours!!
couldn't have said it better myself! hope your holiday was great! :)
