4th of July and Rafting fun

HAPPY 4TH of JULY!!!! We absolutely love this country we are blessed to live in. I think the patriotic spirit stems from Ben's father being a retired Navy Chaplain and our living out of the country for 2 years. Even though there are problems with the government it is still the best place in the world to live! With that said, we had a great Independence Day celebration. We spent Saturday the 3rd with a few families from church. It was great fun for us all!

Above is Holdyn with her sparkler.... she never really got to like holding them, but she loved watching them. Below is Holdyn with her friend Patrick. They were two peas in a pod all evening.

Kimber hated being close to the fire work display. They were pretty loud as you can see Holdyn and Patrick demonstrating the best way to plug your ears when the squealers were lit.


Kimber and Holdyn cleaned out the back of the truck on the 4th of July so we could go watch the fire works and lie in the back.
Rachel and Cody came with us to see the big fireworks booming and lighting up the sky. It was great fun!
Here is one of my favorite pictures of our great friends! Rachel and Cody-we couldn't have made it this far without you! They watched Holdyn while I had Kimber on the island of St. Maarten and they have been there for us ever since!

We were able to take a much awaited trip down the river with Rachel and Cody and our other friends Jesus' and Allison. We had a blast!!! I wish we would have done it sooner so we could have done it more than just once! Thanks River's End Rafting and Jesus' for being such a great river guide!
