Happy Independence Day! There are so many freedoms that I am thankful for! The freedom to homeschool my children, freedom of speech, freedom to worship the Almighty God, the freedom to protect my family, and the list goes on. We all know that freedom for our great nation wasn't given freely. Our forefathers fought and died in hope that one day their ancestors would be able to do the very things that we all too often take for granted, today.
We had a great day of celebration in the Munger house. Carl worked first thing but made it back in time to cook fish at my parent's house for lunch (with the help of my dad, Trey, and Papa). My mom invited my dad's sister and her husband to eat with us and a couple of people from church. We had a fun time of food, fellowship, and swimming!

After a little pool time we came back home. Trey wanted to do some fireworks, so he went out to the garden and found a few cucumbers that were overgrown and he put firecrackers in them and they exploded....boys! The things they do for fun blows my mind.
He was having a blast!
After a quick break and a bite to eat we loaded up the tube and went to the river. My dad got his fishing boat fixed so we all went to the sandbar. Trey was the only one to tube but we all had a good time.

Carl decided to flip off of the floating tube. Thankfully he didn't die! The water WAS NOT very deep there.
Walks on the beach are good; even if it is a beach on the White River in rural Arkansas.
We made it home just in time to unload and change before our fireworks show.
Keep in mind this was our own private backyard show with my parents and grandparents. It's kind of a tradition around here. The only way I would purposely break it is if I were to have the opportunity to spend it off...like out of Arkansas, off.

Grammy even did a sparkler!
I am never good at taking firework pictures.
Minus the nighlight and the pole, it's a good picture.
I do love them!!
It was a fun day spent with great people!
Much Love,
Beth
