As I sat looking at the photos we took over the holiday weekend, I realized I hadn't really taken the time to reflect on what Independence Day means - the revolution and the sacrifice required to break away and form a brand new country. Instead, the weekend was filled with family BBQs:
Playing Baseball,
Watching Fireworks,
Eating Ice Cream,
Watermelon Seed-Spitting Contests, 
Going Swimming,
And eating gigantic breakfasts at Village Inn.
I started to feel a bit neglectful towards my thoughtlessness, but then asked myself: Do I think the founding fathers would have approved of my spending the weekend doing what I like, when I like, and however I chose?
Absolutely.

Looks like a fun weekend. I love Cole's smile at the sparkler. And Grandma looks in 7th heaven holding him. Happy 4th!
Cute pictures. I like the ones of Cole swimming looks like he was having a fun time.
There is no other way to celebrate the 4th! Gluttony is America. I approve.
What great pictures - loved Kelly's house. Old ones have so much character. Everyone looks so happy!
Love,
Mom
Looks like the perfect celebration with all things American. I'm glad you had a great weekend.
