Happy 4th of July & Happy Anniversary!!!

Happy 4th of July everyone!!! We celebrated the day as usual... went to the parade (Justin marched with Cub Scouts), did stuff around the house, went swimming (in the rain!), bbq'd, watched a pretty good fireworks show downtown and then ended the day with our own fireworks & dessert at home with some friends.

Also, a Happy Anniversary to my parents, who were married 44 years ago on the 4th of July. They are happily visiting my brother, sister-in-law and their three kids in Chicago.

And in the spirit of 4th of July, here is an article about freedom written by a Celebration High School graduate that appeared in the Orlando Sentinel.
