4th of July

Happy Independence Day!! The fourth of July is such a fun holiday. I usually love to sit in some water to celebrate our beautiful country, but this year we headed up to the cabin ( I actually think we usually go to the cabin, but I always want to go swim) We are so lucky to have such a nice place to escape to that is not too far- but just far enough. The cabin has so many fun memories- man if those walls could talk. We had a barbecue and this year we decided to go try to fish as kids pond. I had never been there before- which is weird because its literally up the road from our cabin. It is super cute there. One tradition we have is that we always eat See's Candy on the Fourth. It started one year at Christmas time. Our family has received SO many boxes of See's candy. Us girls would have been happy downing all of them without even worrying about it, but my dad said no. He took a box and put it in the freezer. We all freaked out and asked when we would be able to eat them- in true parent fashion he said The Fourth of July. So, that's just what we did. We opened up the frozen box on the fourth and enjoyed. Ever since then its not the fourth without some frozen See's. 

 We are so blessed to live in one of the most beautiful places on earth. I am glad we got to spend the holiday enjoying this beautiful part of the country and our amazing family! God Bless America!
