Happy Belated Fourth of July


I wanted to include this image of the fireworks display put on by the City of Tumwater. Absolutely stunning show of fireworks. It was also neat because they had about 10-15 blow up bouncers and rock walls for climbing before the show started. My daughter and I had a great conversation about how we are celebrating our independence as a country. She loves American Girl stories so we used the story of Felicity to discuss the loyalists and the patriots. If you haven't checked out the American Girl books and you have a girl, check them out. I am consistently impressed with the encouragement and empowerment for young girls that the stories contain. What amazing things women have done in the past 100 years and we are so blessed to have freedom.
