Although we celebrated the holiday with playing, swimming, eating and laughing with family I couldn't help but ponder on my devotion and love of America. I feel such love for this country. We got going early in the morning and enjoyed a lovely breakfast and program with the Colfax Ward. The scouts posted the Flag and we reverently put our hands over our hearts and recited the Pledge of Allegiance. Joe then gave a wonderful speech about a man, who was a reverend, and his struggle and then decision to fight in the Revolutionary War. A canon was set off and America the Beautiful was sung. Three old war type planes flew overhead painted with red, white and blue. How blessed are we to have this nation! A land founded by Godly, honest, moral men. Many have died to give their posterity the gift of freedom. What is most important is that this is a land through which a prophet was called of God and the priesthood was restored to the earth. How blessed we are......
It was an exhausting day (aren't ALL holidays with little children exhausting?!?), but a fun one. It is one I'll remember for a long time. We had lots of family from both sides come to the Forman's house and we had a great time swimming, visiting, and eating. Bryce played with his cousin Avery. Hope soaked her brother and I with water from squirt guns. Hope had an adorable star spangled outfit custom made by Grandma Cox. We got to visit with cousins we haven't seen in awhile. It was a good day.......
