Happy 4th of July




This was a kind of a quiet 4th of July celebration, but a good one. Kenny was working and Logan had plans with his friends, so I thought I might be on my own. But KC and Tawni came down and we had the greatest time. We drove down to Ft. Green and spent the afternoon just chatting with Mom and Dad. Cindy and Chris were there with J and Sarah and it was fun to see them. KC, Tawni and I didn't get to Ft. Green in time to join them for the 4th of July lunch, but still got to enjoy some leftover watermelon (Yum!) We had a very relaxing visit, then drove over to Moroni to watch the fireworks. The band playing while we waited for the fireworks wasn't so great, but we didn't care because we were just having fun. The fireworks were pretty good for a small town. We were sitting at the top of the hill above the baseball field, and the fireworks were pretty close. You could feel the boom in your chest. KC and Tawni took the pictures and I'm glad that they brought their camera because I didn't remember.

Saturday was a great day just spending time with KC and Tawni. We had such a great time shopping, working, relaxing, watching movies. Tawni is an amazing cook and threw together some pizza dough and we each made individual pizzas. Fun times!

I'm grateful to live in this country and I'm grateful for all the men and women who serve and have served to protect the freedoms that I enjoy and tend to take for granted.

Happy Independence Day!

This post makes me a bit homesick. KC did a great job with the picture taking. I enjoyed talking to him on the telephone Saturday. He's such a nice guy. (I want to say "kid", but I know he's an adult.:-)) I wish I could spend more time with them.

I love small town fireworks. One year we decided not to go to the Moroni fireworks because we thought it looked too "crowded." I'm not sure we were going to hear the end of that one.
