Our 4th of July was a nice family day. I'll admit, we were a bit lonely not enjoying the holiday bbqing with friends/family. If we were in NJ I know exactly how the day would unfold--full of parades, friends and food. In OH, a parade and potluck with neighbors/friends. We are meeting wonderful people in Florida, but haven't become close enough to share a holiday yet.
Never-the-less, we had a festive, lovely day! It started with buttermilk blueberry pancakes, sausage and hashbrowns. Hayden still had a swim lesson so we headed to the pool. We swam for a couple of hours and had a picnic lunch.
In the afternoon, the big boys decorated their bikes with ribbons and pinwheels.
Bananas, strawberries and blueberries
We grilled dinner and had a special dessert made by Hayden, Logan & daddy.
Of course, the day is really about freedom. A gift born from sacrifice. We are thankful that we could spend the day choosing freely how to celebrate.
