We had four house guests and two other family members stayed close by. It was so wonderful to have family during the holidays.
We played games of family baseball in the yard, BBQ out on the grill, had smores by the firepit (a first for my 2 year old), homemade ice cream, and just had nice times sitting around the patios chatting sipping coffee, tea, & lemonade.... it is what I imagine Mayberry or Stars Hollow would be like all the time (if either of those places were real).
We attended our small town firework show that was set up to synch with patriotic country music.. it was like stepping back into time. I saw no kids or parents on cell phones or electronic gaming devices..everyone was sitting in lawn chairs watching kids run and play with balls or sparklers, it was truly refreshing.
There is something about the 4th of July that makes people nostalgic for the days of old... and also truly appreciate what they have............family, friends, and just time together.
I hope everyone had a great 4th!
