Celebrating America's Birthday


We are a military family...my father is a Veteran of the Gulf War, and retired from the Army Reserves several years ago, my brother is currently in The Army Reserves and is a Veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom (having been there twice), and also Kosovo, and my Knight In Camo Body Armor (AKA Mr. Wright!) is also a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom. So needless to say, we love the good 'ole USA and are very patriotic. Every 4th of July, we have a celebration at the Skipper Place, with ribs, slaw, rice, and all the fixins! This year we had a fine fireworks display put on by the "grown" men, and plenty of sparklers to go around!! Happy Birthday, America!!!!
We were in charge of bringing a dessert- and planned on bringing a strawberry shortcake- but decided to make it look like a flag and add blueberries to the top too! Little C did most of the decorating herself!


Thought this one was cool- it was taken through the 3D glasses that the fireworks store gave the kids! Looks like a kaleidescope!  
*Insert OOOOOHHHHHHs and AAAAAHHHHHs here!*
