We sure do love America!
On the 3rd, we had cub scouts. To go with the theme of the week, we decided to teach the boys about why America is special. There were several thing they needed to do to pass off this badge. They had to tell what made America special to them, they had to draw and color a flag of their state, and answer some questions about important heros.
This got me thinking a lot about why I am grateful for America. I may not absolutely love some of the rulers of the country, but that doesn't change how much I love America and everything it stands for. There are plenty of reasons, but I'll stick with the top 3:
1. I love that we have the ability to practice whichever religion we choose to. Which happens to be the biggest blessing. I love being able to worship as I please, and making it a part of me.
2. I love all of the rights that women have who are a part of this great nation. Working wherever they choose, wearing whatever they choose, and being whatever they decide.
3. I just love FREEDOM! It's such a wonderful blessing. Freedom in living.
We went up to Idaho Falls for the 4th, and once again, the time wasn't long enough. We were able to spend time with family, attend a chukars game, and watch the fireworks!
