Happy Independence Day


It's been way too long since we last posted. Rather than try to remember everything from the last three months, I'll just give a short report on how we spent our 4th of July.

We went in the morning to the Prairie Village city fair. Skies were threatening rain, so Daddy made a beeline to see the chinook helicopter. We all got to walk through the cargo area and look inside the cockpit. Later, we saw the giant bird take off. That sight was the highlight for most boys--big and small.

Andy loved climbing inside the real fire trucks and spraying the fire hose with the help of a firefighter. Thanks to Momma's lack of technical know-how, we missed that video op. Marshall is almost speaking to me today.

We met our friends, the Harrisons, and their two boys at the fair. Andy loved chasing the boys and running around in the grass. To cap off a fabulous day, Andy won a drawing for a remote-control ferrari. What a day!

In the evening, we decided to forego the fireworks and keep it low-key at home.

We are thankful to God for the freedoms He's given us, and all those who have fought for this country to help preserve them.
