4th of July

In the picturesque setting of the Weaver's backyard sandwiched between the smell of freshly cut mint and chicken on the grill, it was hard to tell if the smells, the sounds, or the sights were my favorite part of this American Holiday. The kids had a ball running around the yard as the adults sat comfortably in the shade under the large back porch. The food was beyond delicious and yet it paled in comparison to the company around the table. My heart is full because of the freedoms we are so honored to have, my heart is humbled by the men and women who leave their families and fight so bravely to protect our country and my heart is exploding with the love I have for those I hold dear. Happy Fourth of July!!!

The gracious hosts~
After dinner, we met our church family at the Sunnyside Pool for swimming before going to the church parking lot to watch the city fireworks. Perfect ending to a perfect day.
