Independence Day 2008!

"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free; the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me. I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" -Emma Lazarus, poem engraved on the Statue of Liberty

We had a great 4th! A few days before the Hammer's came up for a dutch oven dinner. So, of course Hannah wanted to play in the "Dfroggg Poo" AKA frog pool. Hannah and Kaylee had fun! They are such good cousins and friends! I cannot wait for dance and soccer!!!

On the 4th we go the Hamlet's for dinner and fireworks. Dinner was delicious of course- Brawts and such! YUM! And we even had a miniature blow up castle for the kids. They loved it- especially Hannah and Mason. Mase only liked the doorway however... go figure! Next were the fireworks! Hannah dislikes the fireworks unless she is behind glass to watch... so sweet papa sat in the house with her while she watched out the window!
What a great day to spend with family and be FREE! God Bless America!!!
