Happy 4th!

I love the 4th of July! I love being an American and I love the patriotic feeling that accompanies the day. This year Doug got tickets to the Stadium of Fire which was amazing, but I FORGOT MY CAMERA! Lame!

It's always fun to go to John and Amber's 4th of July celebration. I love being there with family and friends. I love that Grandpa comes and that we get to celebrate with a real American Hero. This year Beva rented a bounce house, cotton candy machine and snow cone machine for the kids. It was a blast.
