we had a great couple of days celebrating the 4th. on the 3rd, we went and saw the clemson fireworks. we joined with some friends from church and sat on a beach on campus at the lake and watched their show. it was really good and supposedly it is always on the 3rd which is awesome because that means 2 nights of fireworks for us.
for lunch on the 4th we went to a church pool party. it was really evan's first time swimming in a pool and of course, he loved it. we all loved it too since it's the first (and probably only) time we made it in the pool this summer (we go to the lake often, though). we enjoyed excellent company and food, which always makes for a great day!
we ended the actual 4th by going to see the seneca fireworks. after a minor setback from some rude ladies who claimed to be saving the last parking spot and refused to move their lawn chairs for our car full of people, we created our own spot to enjoy the show. it was even better than clemson's! (naturally) we got there early enough to have some down time so we spent a lot of time making really hideous faces and photographing ourselves. i will spare you these photos on here but if you wish to see them, just check out my july 2012 album on facebook.
probably the best part about this particular fourth, aside from it being evan's first, was being with my family. we spent the day with my grandparents, parents, and katie. it's so awesome to have everyone so close now and i'm so glad katie gets to come often and has been able to spend most of her summer here (major perk of being a teacher).
i am so thankful to be an American. i am thankful for the freedoms we have and eternally indebted to those who have fought and paid the price for those freedoms. God Bless the USA!!
