We have had a great time this entire week being with family. My brother has been in town with his family and we have been able to spend time with Ashley’s family as well. We went to our ward breakfast for the 4th of July. Because the city mayor lives in our ward, we often get to have the police escort a little parade around the block and even sometimes get the fire department to hose everyone down with the giant water cannon mounted on the top of their truck. Later in the day, we spent time together before everyone went to the park to watch the fireworks. The boy cousins played a pick up game of football, and the girl cousins just hung out while we were waiting for them to start. We have been able to go bowling and do several other activities this week with family as well. It has been a lot of fun. How grateful we are for the freedom that we enjoy in this country. While the country is far from perfect, it truly is the best system that man has devised to this point. I am grateful for the liberties that we are able to enjoy and pray that none of us ever take them for granted.
