DW and I celebrated the 4th of July with our friends, Daniel and Jessica, and their kids. The city we live in has golf cart paths throughout the community and pretty much everyone owns one that lives here. In fact, at the local high school, the parking lot is filled with more golf carts than cars! We love it here...it's a super active community and you can pretty much get anywhere on a golf cart - grocery store, shopping, and dining. Our community also has a huge tradition for this particular holiday - a "golf cart" parade where people decorate their golf carts in the morning and a huge fireworks display in the evening. People start laying blankets out DAYS before the event and a local Country Club opens up one of their fairways for people to enjoy the display.
It was the best fireworks display I've seen in a long time! Well...make that ever!
As I sat there watching the kids running on the fairway and playing in the sandtrap while the parents sat on blankets and hung out...it dawned on me that we get to experience such great freedoms because of men like my father and grandfather and the men and women currently serving in the military.
Thank you to those who are protecting my right to live safe and free...
