May we always reflect on the purpose of Independence day, and always be thankful for this great nation we live in...to love, nurture, and always appreciate those who sacrifice their life in order for us to be alive, and enjoy so freely this wonderful country we live in. I am proud to be an american, and express my gratitude to the men and women who serve our country. May we pass this on to our posterity in teaching them the true meaning of the land where are fathers died.
I love this holiday because of the celebrations we have in remembering this great nation while celebrating its birthday. There is so much fun, and remembrance in it. Although the fireworks are deemed "celebratory" it sure is a beautiful sight to see them light up in the sky. And this past Wednesday we watched them light up over the water at Princeton near the stadium.
We are also so excited to be attending Lexie's grand finale concert this evening in Philly with selected members of the Philadelphia Orchestra. She has worked so hard throughout the past two weeks at the festival, and we are all excited to see her. We have all missed her, and are anxious to have her home again. This day will be celebrated with simplicity, and maybe after the concert we'll go out for some ice cream, and maybe watch the fireworks in Philly.
Then again...we can always watch them on television too. You know...just in case we're too tired to go anywhere afterwards.
