I pledge allegiance to the flag
of the United States of America
and to the Republic for which it stands
one nation, under God, indivisible
with liberty and justice for all.

Happy Fourth of July!!
I'm waving my flag proudly and joining many others over at Ask Kari & Kijsa's. Go over and visit them and their patriotic participants. Kari & Kijsa have a beautiful blog, by the way--if you haven't ever visited them, you should.We just returned home late last night from a trip to Arkansas. We had a great time visiting family there. We even celebrated Independence Day a little early with an old fashioned picnic! I basically begged my mom to fix a picnic like she always did when I was growing up. It was so delicious: fried chicken, potato salad, baked beans, baked macaroni and cheese, deviled eggs....are you licking your lips yet?!!
Picnicking at Lake Fort Smith, Arkansas
We decided to picnic at a recently re-opened state park and it was a lovely spot. Mr. B slept through the majority of our time there though, but I'm not one to argue with nap time!

Following our afternoon of eating and swimming, we finished off the evening with a few fireworks for the kiddos. It was mostly sparklers and snaps and they loved every minute of it! I'm glad, because last year Mr. B wasn't too keen on them and the Princess would really tease him by waving sparklers at him.
Tomorrow we have a laid-back day planned. Family-time at home during the first part of the day, then late in the afternoon we're heading to some friends' house for food, swimming and fireworks. We're all looking forward to it! I hope that you and your family have a wonderful holiday together!
