Independence Day






Happy Independence Day to everyone!! This was Bean's first big 4th of July holiday. She got a good taste of why daddy is so fond of this holiday. We went to the Hartford parade (that's not why dad likes the 4th) to have some fun in the sun, then just chillin' in the nice weather for the rest of the day.
Tonight, the redneck riviera is sure to put one seriously illegal display of fireworks. Thousands of dollars are spent by the residents of Foxtail Drive alone on fireworks and explosives. They go as far as bolting their explosives to boards so they can detonate their display from afar. We're sure to have police in our neighborhood by at least 10:00 p.m. tonight. That, coupled with a frantic Hudson who is so afraid of fireworks you'd think he'd just seen the Grim Reaper himself carrying a giant dagger with, "Hudson, I'm here for you," etched in the blade with blood, will absolutely provide for some entertainment on this end.
Have a wonderful 4th of July, remember what this holiday is celebrating, be grateful for this wonderful country we live in, the freedom that we have and give thanks to the brave ones who have and continue to sacrifice their lives to protect the freedom we all too often take for granted.
