Celebrating the 4th of July in the birthplace of America was quite the experience! In the morning Annie and I went down to the Historic District to watch the parade and it was so much fun! All of the old wars, veterans and eras in history were represented in some way or another. There were a few countries in cultural outfits and marching bands in outrageous costumes. I was so glad that I got to see it!
After Landon and the rest of the boys got home, we went back downtown to the "America Festival" and attended a Sheryl Crow concert and a firework show. It was absolutely packed and just a little crazy for my personality, but we had such a good time. I love the fourth of July and have loved being able to walk the same ground that our founding fathers walked. I am so grateful for all the veterans and inspired leaders that allow us to live our lives the way we want and enjoy the freedoms we have been given! 
Happy birthday AmErIcA!
