The 4th!

my favorite fireworks. they remind me of the weeping willow tree my that was in my aunt's front yard a long time ago.

I love the 4th of July. Not as much as Thanksgiving or Christmas, but it's in my top 3, I guess. There's just something about cookouts with family, eating juicy watermelon, and watching fireworks light up the sky while you go deaf from the explosion that makes my heart happy.

Today, we're just going to take it easy by the pool, then have a small but delicious cookout with friends, and enjoy some fireworks by the river. Do you have any fun activities planned? Whatever you end up doing, stay hydrated out there! I made myself sick mowing the lawn yesterday because I didn't drink enough water. Lesson learned!

Hope you have a wonderful mid-week celebration! Be a blessing to someone today!
