Happy 4th of July

We had a pretty quiet fourth, but we did go for a long bike ride all around Weston.  Mark needed a prescription, so we started out going to Walgreens, then we just continued to ride along Weston Road.  It was a pretty ride, because we were riding on sidewalks along lakes and among trees. Weston is a beautiful city, very clean, and well taken care of. 

At one point, we noticed that the city center had a kind of carnival going on, so we stopped to investigate.  I think they must have had a parade earlier, but there were a couple of things going on for kids.  The fire department was showering anyone who wanted to get wet.  There was free hotdogs and brownies.  We didn't stay long, but rode on home.

We enjoyed "1776" later on.  It was interesting to be reminded of the struggle it was for independence and the sacrifices so many made.  I know God inspired the process and the people involved.  I'm so grateful for the sacrifices of so many and I'm proud to be an American!
